The Central Marche

March 22, 2019 | By Jillienne de Vos

Sunday is not the busiest day at the market so it was an ideal day to do a quick video. Suffice to say it is another learning curve to film and edit these things. It’s a bit tricky to be unobtrusive but when I mention they will be famous in Australia, they smile!

We shop regularly at this market, it has a marvelous selection of fresh fruit, vegetables, cheeses, meat and fish, pre-prepared meals, wines and cognacs and of course oysters and fish. It is a good idea to take a list so you can ignore it and buy everything that takes your fancy. We have even bought a purple trolley, which will also be handy for provisioning on the boat.

We passed the market on our way back from the Apple reseller Hippolyte Ip Store and stopped at the oyster stand. I will digress slightly and say the people in this store are very helpful and usually one speaks English. Ile de Re is famous for its oysters, they are plentiful and cheap, in a range of sizes. We chose the mid-size ones and took them home on a tray for which we paid a 3 E deposit. We returned the tray the next day got our 3E back and I made the little video!

Cheese by the tonne!
