"Because a woman loves so many things…"
So much to see and do in the markets and brocantes of Paris. Here’s a peek in a lovely little antique boutique in the Passy area (16th arrondissement of Paris).
The delicate colors of a miniature, the golden glow of the gilt, the alabaster lady. Each piece is unique in its own way but put it all together in one place and it is a treat to all five senses!!
Shopping at Premier Pression Provence for fresh olive oil from small producers in the south of France.
Feel free to taste all the unique flavors and ask how which goes best with what.
Tapenades, sea salt, and mustards are also available to taste… and chocolate-covered almonds.
Handcrafted olive wood cutting boards and serving bowls make perfect gifts,
and did I mention the chocolate-covered almonds?
The food markets in Paris are a highlight for residents and visitors alike.The food vendors here take their food seriously, and the displays are mouth-watering to say the least.
Many vendors will offer you a little taste – a peu de goût – so you can be sure of the freshness and quality of their products. They enjoy sharing facts and cooking tips so don’t be shy if you have a question.
There is always a breathtaking selection of flowers at the markets that are hard to resist. You’ll soon notice the French carry their wrapped flowers upside down.
