Markets on Noirmoutier Island

“The fresh products are very appetizing. I rediscovered the tomato here: each one has a slightly different shape, sometimes even deformed, and they’re not graded. But they’re delicious, exceptional. You nibble a lot at the market: there’s a lot of charcuterie to taste, smoked fish, the cheesemonger’s special favourites, and even fruits and vegetables. Most of the time, I go to the market on my bicycle. I am usually on my own, but sometimes we make it a family outing. The kids come to see all the stands, my husband loves to choose our fish, and my mother-in-law enjoys wandering through the lanes.”
