I finally made it to the Marché Raspail with M.
Held only on Sundays from 7am - 3amMetro - Rennes
Everything is organic or bio pronounced B-O or biologique.
They have great hunks of my favorite soap, Savon de Marseilles, made of pure 100% olive oil FYI. I use this soap everywhere-bath and kitchen. This soap refuses to die. After a year, you look at the block in disgust and toss it. Enough! Then you immediately replace it with a new block. It's unscented - hard to find these days and way cheaper at this marche than in New York.
More great hunks, this time of cheese, bigger than your head.
Hunky bread too. There's a rustic quality to this marche that is very appealing.
You could pretend you're in the country...
Fresh herbs to put on your apartment window sill or terrace?
Did they go into this delicious salade? We bought some for lunch..
What about the guy in the background with the red beret and red neckerchief? I'd love to know his story...
More lunchtime goodies -freshly made soupe...
No way was I going to pass up the hot chocolat l'ancienne. You have to add your own sugar. Hey it's organic!
Allyson gave me this book to read on the bus up to the Boston - they had exact descriptions of the Marché Raspail venders."At the end of the market, a young man is frying potato pancakes with onion and cheese." We ate those right on the spot. OMG Sinfully good even if organic/bio.
Look a chic back view of a marche vender. Note - purple scarf.
M.'s bread from the market to go with our soupe de lentilles à l'indienne from the marche.
I picked up some macarons on the way home from Sadaharu Aoki on 35 rue de Vaugirard. They are open on Sundays. Isn't it wonderful!
A very fun and unique experience. GET OUT OF BED and GO!
BONJOUR Marché Raspail!
