Not too far from Boulangerie Paul, there is a market known as 'Marche Poncelet', this market sells local produce. We are very intrigued on how the local produce is sold in a market, so this is an opportunity to experience it. A short walk with the GPS guidance, we reached the market.
Mushrooms, melons, oranges, so neat, and also price tag, too bad I don't know french.
Spices and tomatoes, all the different types.
Sea food and I think escargot on the bottom left.Various prawns/shrimps and oysters.
I have feeling the prawns are cooked, prawns are never orange in colour unless half cooked. Live prawns will be better.
Various oysters and also scallops, looks presentable.
Scallops, considerably larger ones, yummy.
Here is the professional prepping the scallops.
And of course the cheese, hmm a house fly on it too.
And more cheese, is Parisian cheese crazy ? And foie gras too.
And the meat and is that sausages ? Saucisson is sausage in french.
Saucisson Aux Noisettes with google translate is it sausage with hazelnuts ? Someone help me with the french translation of the sausages. I can see lots of sausages too.
Lots like quite a good slices of ham( should be the leg portion).
Jambon is indeed ham.
More seafood, how come the crabs look half cooked ?
For the asians, the crab must not be half cooked, quite bizzare, will it still retain the fresh ocean taste ?
Hmm all looked cooked to me, wondering where is the raw seafood is ?
Sea urchins ? I thought only the Japanese eat these.
Basket of avocado.
Mushrooms, now is the mushroom season.No idea what type of mushroom are those.
Strawberry and mushrooms.
Another Paul boulangerie
Probably we are also slightly late, so not many stalls left to see. But it is definitely nice to roam in the market. If one joins the market intro class by the famous 'Le Cordon Bleu' culinary institution, the chefs will walk through the market and probably explain what is it and how to cook it.
Soon we should check out the metro. Probably check out some local attractions first.
