LES HALLES AND MORE CHEESE

We enjoy our Saturday morning marché and Les Halles Sens did not disappoint. All the usual subjects plus amazing architecture. Basically a late 1800's triangular wrought iron building with the corners cut off. All very Eiffel.

Interior of Les Halles, Sens.

The building has obviously been restored in recent years. The addition to the original design, there are now stained glass panels over the six entrances. Each displays a genre of the produce for sale: vegetables (as below), exotic fruit, mushrooms, flowers, fruit and more vegetables. All are in stunning detail, huge and include the names of the produce next to the image.

As you know we are constantly seeking out new cheeses which we always buy. Well the 'always' took a hit when we came across Brie Noir. It actually looks inedible. Too much rind and a very, very mature centre.

Brie Noir. Not for the faint hearted.
