Sunday, 27 Sept 09
Quieter day today. Started the day on French time, not waking up till 9am. Spent the morning at the Bastille street markets, which were wonderful. About 90 per cent fresh produce - extraordinary range of seafood, meat (including frogs' legs), fruit and vegies, cheeses and breads, fresh herbs and eggs in huge baskets.
Frogs' legs
Veges
Cheese stall
Whole chickens (with heads)Successfully inflicted my French on stall holders to pick up yet more cheese, baguette and rabbit terrine (think we've nearly overdosed on pates and terrines...) and walked along the Promenade Plantee - old railway viaduct that has been planted up and is now a popular walkway - to a park for lunch. Dinner at a little cafe which we discovered when given our menus was called 'Le boomerang' - funnily enough, not a boomerang in sight.
