A kindred spirit! Me too. I went to the big market in St Etienne in the snow and it seemed like it was just me and the old men with newspapers. I always buy too much.

Thank you for this wonderful description of the Blois Market, and your beautiful photos take me back there. We were in Blois recently and found the market so charming. I will be linking your story to a blog post I am writing so that my readers can hear even more about the market.

Thank you, Diane. I’m glad you enjoyed the market. We never miss it when we are home.
[…] typical to visit castles and chateaus while in France, but give me a food market any day. Blois had one of the best. So first thing Saturday morning, we went there to figure out our menus for the next five days. […]
Such gastronomic delights. I’m married to a Pom. Meat and 3 veg. Not quite that bad. I have made some progress in changing the menu.
Oh dear, that must be hard!
A good market local should be one of the attractions for any area in my opinion. We live where we do because of Loches market.
We were initially disappointed in the Blois market but now we love it!
It’s very busy, which is a good thing. I’m reminded of our main farmer’s market.
I think they are such a wonderful tradition.
