Saturday morning is my favourite time to go to food market in Menton.
It's
the one day of the week when the market swells with local
producers who bring their delicious, fresh products from the countryside to town
to sell to appreciative customers like me. It's also cheaper than my regular market in Monaco and always a great opportunity to people watch.

| A typical crowded Saturday in the Menton market |
On Saturdays the market closes at 1:00 so if you arrive after 10:00, the crowds are
thick and the side walks are narrow so you get pushed and shoved, squished, and elbowed like a bargain hunter on Black Friday. And believe me, older
French women take no prisoners when it comes to scooping up the last
handful of spinach or bunch of carrots even if its not their turn.
