It's funny you mentioned France as we spent last weekend in Paris for a long break away and happened to find a market on the Sunday morning. I was just amazed at the size of it and the stalls selling fresh fish, meat, tonnes of fruit and veg and one even selling bunches of fresh herbs! It's a shame we don't have more of those in this country. Clearly people come in from the countryside and selling within the big city on the sunday. A perfect way to spend sunday morning in my opinion. It's just a shame we couldn't buy anything to bring back. That fruit and veg lasted us a whole week and tasted so good.

I lived in France for a year and I went to my local open air market every sunday to buy my week's fruit & veg. When I got back here, I really missed doing my shopping that way. Now at least we have a local farmers market but it's only once a month :( Sxx I have to agree with you, it’s so much nicer buying fruit & veg from a market or even a proper green grocer, than from the supermarket.
