ONE SLICE OR TWO

Chalon-sur-Saône is a very difficult place to moor, but more of that later. The Sunday morning market is huge. In front of the cathedral and down adjacent streets with every kind of food and drink you would ever want. What makes it very unusual is that fact that it's 'Sunday'. Most French towns are deserted on Sundays but this is hectic. Not just the market is busy but all the adjacent shops, bars, cafes and restaurants are open. Amazing.


Margaret beside a peach and nectarine stall. Always a bit of a fruitarian.


Baker cutting a slice from a loaf. Yes he was struggling, obviously a good solid loaf. Note the 'table top' is the next loaf!

Amazing cheeses. Looks like the cheese mites are winning the day on this 36 month old Salers Fermier. Tasted mature.


Well with all that bread you would need a bit a cheese.
