The adventures of Yacht Flirtie

"Hi, we are sailing yacht Flirtie's crew, Bruce and Caroline. Welcome to our blog.

Treguier - Market day

Decided to visit the Wednesday market, held weekly in the square.

Unfortunately the weather over the past few days has been appalling (thunder, hale, rain, wind and generally cold) and it didn't let up when we visited the market.

Thankfully the majority of stalls had tarpaulins erected so all produce was still on display rather than being hidden under sheets. Every conceivable fresh produce was available from strings of onions and garlics, fruit and vegetables, various meats, eggs, live chickens, sausages, cheeses, breads/baguettes, various fish and various shellfish: live spider crabs, live lobsters, mussels, clams, oysters and scallops.

Whilst walking around we stopped to taste one of Brittany's delights; crepes and galettes (savoury crepes made from buckwheat flour). Cheap to buy from a market stall, but not very easy to eat in your hand.

The aroma from various foods being cooked was just too much to bare ... so we just had to walk away with dinner - paella!
