Pyrenees France: Saint Girons
Market day in Saint Girons is every Saturday morning from 8am to 1pm. It's a 2 hour drive from the Spanish/French border near Bielsa.As always, it was a real pleasure to experience the delights of the market stalls: 700g of ceps for 10€, tray of delicious smelling stawberries for 5€, freshly baked crusty loaves, flowers galore, painted stones, african dresses, moroccan slippers, sarongs, teas, handcrafted wooden jewellery boxes...Not forgetting of course the cured meats, fruit and veg and the cheeses-Cantal, Beaufort, Tomme de Savoie, Saint Marcellin mmmhhh...
A busy morning with lots of people buying their weeks supplies in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Top of the morning with a nice big cup of "café au lait" in the bar terrace while watching the colourful selection of shoppers that come to the Saint Girons market.
