Rennes Market

The food market was the big attraction for us, reminiscent of the markets we frequented in Paris last summer. This one was indeed large, and strictly food, ingredients and some already prepared.
The market opens at 8:30, and we were among the first there, the
sun still low in the sky

















Dozens of these giant skillets going
















"First you slice up about two dozen carrots..."
















One of several rotisserie trucks
















I am so looking forward to getting back to Costco,
where you can get twice the chicken for half the
price, wonderfully spiced and cooked just right






















Inside one of the two large market halls
















Breton pizza
















Food of Satan; takes many shapes and forms
















One of many seafood stands
















I'll post a video of the lobsters next door trying to escape
















29 flavors of yogurt; mix and match
















It was August 1st, and many of the market hall shops were already
into the fermeture

















Not the coffee babe
















Waiting to see your preferred butcher
















More food trucks
















After doing our city walk, we are back around lunch-time to do
some actual shopping

















After the fruits and legumes, we visited the Indian food counter
to get some naan for a subsequent dinner; there's our naan,
being cooked


















And, of course, the rotisserie truck, for half a chicken and some
potatoes

















Great market
















And a little repas back at the camper

Looking at these photos made me so hungry! Yum! I understand that Cosco's chickens are loss leaders. They have not raised their prices in years and lose money on each chicken, but everyone loves them, and so they continue to sell them at a loss.
