Annecy Farmers marché

 I loved ❤️ The Sunday Annecy Farmers market.

I thought it was even better than the Arles market, renown for being the best in Europe.

Maybe its the surrounding. All those lovely buildings.

When you look up over the throngs of people.

All the streets of the old town/veille ville are pedestrian 🚶‍♂️ Full of families and big Alpine type dogs.

Some stands offered combo deals (see blackboard)of sausage, cheeses and wine. Bring your own bread (BYOB).

I did much more walking than I usually do in Paris. And no killer bikers 🚴‍♂️ either. 

I drank this locally-made blonde beer 🍺 (BS) with everything. I rarely drink but it went so well with the heavy, cheesy food. I only could managed about 2 Tbsps. Waiters looked at me like I was crazy. I had a feeling they helped themselves later

Such big plans to taste all the local cheeses, but in the end the choices were too numerous and confusion set in. 

If there was a food tour I would have gladly taken it.

I often saw people eating mixed planches of charcuterie + fromage.

I did get another tartiflette, this time with saumon included so less potatoes = no tummy ache. *Note the tall ‘blonde’.

I never ordered restaurant desserts (always the same everyplace). Instead I got a ‘digestif’ at Glacier des Alpes - a cornet of a single dip, embellished with a topper of your choice (vanille + a dollop of framboise). Everyone was wearing the same navy blue guilted jacket (I bought one at the local Monoprix merci dieu). Do not get it in black(if it even exists). In general navy is the preferred color in France. Why? I Dunno…maybe because of so many boaty events? The flag?🇫🇷 Do you know?

Of course since the red pottery from Le Tetras came up, its all I can think about😬 Why oh why didn't I get one little spotted red mug? The prices were reasonable.  But their hours were limited. I needed you along for a nudge. Thanks for reading Parisbreakfast. If you'd like to receive Parisbreakfast letters 💌 maps and watercolors in your mailbox 📮 look in my Etsy shop. ❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋🐻🐻🐻🍺🍺🍺
