It's been on the same site since 1880 (132 years) and this summer, the Prince and Princess inaugurated its grand reopening after extensive renovations. Thank goodness it's there, a short walk downhill from where I live.

And then, we have our small specialty shops to tie us over during winter.

If I do make it Monaco for a visit, I would love to go with you to see it in person. <br />And a random ps. Friends stayed over this past weekend and brought an Italian brioche for breakfast--let me see it is written on the box Gran Soffice--do you know it? Delicious!!!<br />Bisous.Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637057639994118013.post-8463204147982191832012-11-12T10:10:18.885+01:002012-11-12T10:10:18.885+01:00;);)Gustiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602047432864589953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637057639994118013.post-47931051807628550242012-11-12T10:06:08.264+01:002012-11-12T10:06:08.264+01:00Too bad there aren't evening markets in France...Too bad there aren't evening markets in France.

I pick the outdoor market. I was a bit surprised to find such a friendly, small scale market in Monaco. I am not a big fan of the glitzy Principauté. But for this wonderful market, I would gladly go back. Thank you for taking us there! Veronique (one of your newest Followers...)

I love to shop at my local weekly market, even though it's very small. Once a month we have 'La Foire' when market traders come from further a field with their fresh products. Then I stock up on the cheeses from the Auvergne & Cantal & fresh fruit from the Dordogne. I live on the borders of the these departments. Enjoy your markets. Best wishes.
