The day I stopped on the side of the road to take the photos of fields of poppies that I posted yesterday, I was headed toward the little town of Valençay, about 10 miles east of Saint-Aignan. I was going to do some shopping in the weekly market there. Above you see The market hall, where some of the vendors display and sell their products. Other vendors have stalls outdoors on the market square or along the nearby streets. The tomatoes at the market that day in June 2010 were beautiful, as you can see.
The
halle au blé (market hall) in Valençay was built about 100 years ago. The weekly market sets up on Tuesday mornings. Valençay is famous for its goat cheeses and wines (reds, whites rosés). The restaurant above right is one Walt and I first went to for a nice lunch in October 2000. We've returned several times over the years.

They look incredible!
ReplyDeleteI love those markets.
ReplyDeleteI like the restaurant's name and sign.
ReplyDeleteSo many different types of beautiful tomatoes. Those beefsteak (I guess that's what they are) have an interesting shape.
