To get a Brittany all-sarrasin/Buckwheat crepe from farine de blé noir, but the ticket line was too long. Somehow I resisted all confitures/jams. Easy peasy. I simply did not taste 🥄 I avoided desserts as much as possible 🙏 But I fell hard for LOU champignon. I brought home 3 boxes of Portobellos (5€) Their mushroom soup 🍲 was out of this world divine (5€) I may go back for that 👍 Thanks
After a careful examination of French dirt, I passed quickly through Halle 4 - the Farm teaching area. Too late I discovered part of France (Provence, Normandie, Corse, Île-de-France, Nouvelle-Aquataine) was in Halle 7. I wish there were places to sit 🪑 inside the Salon, besides the floor. Or else going outside. I’m not sure why this is? Do you have any ideas. Please share with a friend ❤️

Seats are "required" for me at an event. I need to loiter sometimes and digest the scene. But "keep moving" is the order of the day.
ReplyDeleteYes, its a bit inhospitable imho 😳
DeleteWonderful food photos, as always, Carol! Thanks for a great start to my day (east coast US)!
ReplyDeleteThere is so much amazing food every which way you turn. It’s hard to choose.
DeleteWhat wonderful posts you always create ! Thank you! I do wonder how you are going to prepare all of those beautiful mushrooms. Will all of them go into a soup?
ReplyDeleteI follow a jam maker who lives in Paris..cute cute packaging..working hard trying to get her jams out there.I suggested this venue..10,000 euros per booth!
ReplyDeleteThat’s why everyone there is with a regional group.
DeleteThe chocolate salon is different but has become ridiculously expensive so many of the best purveyors no longer attend. Its sad.
Maybe it's time to invest in a cane that turns into a seat. Found this online. Switch Sticks Walking Stick, Walking Cane, Cane Chair, Quad Cane and Folding Cane with Seat is 34 Inches Tall, FSA HSA Eligib

Thanks Lynne 😊 I thought this was an ad at first. I guess the cane folds up? I need my hands to shoot. I have seen those in museums etc. There are such constant waves of humanity moving every which way…
DeleteYou took a lot of great photos! Felt like I was there minus the hustle & bustle. I would have enjoyed the sauerkraut & sausage. 🗼❤️
ReplyDeleteIts always hard to decide what to eat…except for the oysters 🦪
DeleteLoving it, especially minus the crowds. Thank you for going for all of us and reporting so well. I adore those little stuffed sheep and the oysters, bien sur.
ReplyDeleteI almost brought home a little foam cow 🐄 …so tempting
DeleteYour artist's sense of color must have been overwhelmed! I love visiting Paris through your eyes! Ellyn
ReplyDeleteThe colors of the regional clothing definitely stood out, but the outdoor marché is more colorful
DeleteOh, Carol, how fabulous that you went back to the Salon! I don’t know how you were able to choose between all of those tempting foods.
ReplyDeleteI was happy to see the name Lochmariaquer on the oyster stall as I have been there. Land of ancient stone megaliths, jaw dropping scenery, and huîtres!
Enjoy your mushroom soup, butter, and olives! Bon app.
WowAmazing that you recognize the oyster people 👍
DeleteThank you for taking me on such wonderful sorties in and around Paris. I was very impressed by the variety of foods on display at the Salon de L’Agriculture this week.
ReplyDeleteWell done for keeping your distance from many temptations - but I am glad you bought the mushrooms. will you follow a particular recipe for that soup?? If so I wonder if you might share it - maybe even JH
