Le Poissonnier


I am thankful for an abundance of food, for friends and family, for an ability to travel to faraway places, for a job I love, for blogger friends around the world.... Happy Thanksgiving to all my USA friends and expats everywhere!

Oh, and I am thankful that I will be in Paris very soon!

    I am thankful for a lot of things, too..... I sure would be thankful to the person who would make me scallops...coquilles St. Jacques....none here.

    I will be in Paris mid-February!!

    Happy Thanksgiving my sweet friend. I am thankful for the many blessings God has bestowed on me and you are one of them! I too would love some coquilles St. Jacques -- one of my favorite dishes. The scallops in this photo are gorgeous!

    In fact, it gets even more specialised - the Coquilles St Jacquier for example or even the Huitrier..

    My Captcha was "wince", btw

    Nice title but I'm afraid it doesn't exist in French. The person selling "mollusque" is a "poissonnier".
    Happy thanksgiving and guess what ... we've just had our first snow in the Northern suburb where I work !

    Bibi -- I would agree and we would invite Marie as she loves them!

    JB - I changed it and then changed it back after Laurent gave the word

    Malyss -- I am still confused about the proper term, having never heard of anything different than "poissonnier" but I am open to learning...

    Shell -- Merci, ma chere amie (no accents on my laptop)

    Leia -- Oh, I hope to see some snow in Paris, a photographer's dream!

    Marie -- This is the same market we visited in June. I am thankful for you as well, mon amie!

    Virginia -- I will you were coming too, but we'll share our December and January experiences for the next time we are both in Paris.

    Laurent -- Thanks for the correction (which is what I originally had until JB "failed" me). SNOW! Fabulous... can't wait to see it!

    Sylvia -- I wish you could be in Paris, too! I'll take some "sky shots" to share.

    Clueless -- Merci and to you also!

    Debbie -- Merci, and I will share many photos upon my return!

    Starman -- Happy Thanksgiving to you also.

    Jane -- And Paris will be missing you!
