I bet it would be hard to find a market more colorful than the Cours Saleya in Old Town Nice, France. Held 6 days of the week, it draws locals and tourists alike for its local products.
Soaps of every color and fragrance, including lavender
which is sold by the scoop.
I can't imagine a spice you would want that's not there.
Fresh vegetables abound
in all vibrant colors,
peppers,
zucchini blossoms,
all the sun dried tomatoes you could ever want,
fresh garlic,
and "cœur de bœuf" tomatoes--not to be confused with our beefsteak tomatoes in the US.
Are you salivating yet? How about these cherries,
apricots,
or the sweetest strawberries I've ever tasted from the region of Carpentras.
What's a market without your bread delivery?
And I leave you today with a beautiful sunflower from the market and wishes for a summer full of color.

ReplyDeleteBonjour Debi,

You are right, the colors make one smile.
ReplyDeleteIf I saw the soaps first, I would have to be careful not to spend my cash right there. Never have I seen so many and in so many colors. That would be a fun market just to stroll and look around.
Beautiful photos Debi - and those lovely zucchini flowers are just waiting to be battered and fried and the apricots how yummy would they taste
