Market Day In Ambert, France from Katia Kelly on Vimeo.
Thursday is market day in Ambert. So early yesterday morning, after a quick cup of coffee, we set off to do our shopping. Ambert is about forty minutes drive from our little village, on roads which serpentine up and down the mountain, making the trip seem longer than it is. Luckily, one passes charming little clusters of houses on the way, and the landscape is breathtaking.
I did not have much on my shopping list, except cheese and melon, but the selection of products offered was so tempting that I walked away with more than I needed. Can you blame me?
Just look at the photos. As I pushed my way through the narrow, crowded streets, I stopped every few feet to delight in the offerings, my basket getting heavier, as I made my purchases.
The last stall I visited was the one at which little birds, hamsters and gerbils are sold as pets. It is my favorite, though it does make me uneasy to see the little critters in cages. However,
the little chipmunks were rather entertaining, as they spun like crazy in their wheel.
Hope everything is well in Carroll Gardens. Leave a comment or drop me a line at pardonmeinbrooklyn@gmail.com. I'll be sure to answer from France.
