(I will share another with you in a later post.) I have been doing this for a few years and it has not yet failed me. I have been buying these savory galettes on each visit to Paris and the gentleman with the blue shirt recognizes me. I had not met the fellow above, but he was very friendly.<br /><br />Many of you have asked about the "galette" seen in the top photo. I am not sure what it is called nor what was in the one he held up for the photo. Marie and I ate a ham and cheese one (triangle) and perhaps a spinach... both were tasty. I will report back on this in about a month.<br /><br />On my last trip (April 2011) I carried about 10 portrait photos and delivered all but "the piano man" who plays on the bridges of the Seine. I will carry that one again in November.<br /><br />Elizabeth, I have not found a market that disappointed me yet. This one was filled with people of the neighborhood, chatting with the vendors and the permanent shop owners. The Métro Maubert-Mutualité has an escalator exit that drops you right in this street market.<br /><br />Thank you for all of your comments, mes amis. I will be in Chicago but still posting and visiting as I am able. Enjoy your weekend.<br /><br />Bises,<br />GenieGenie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-45764634693840555152011-10-13T23:48:30.056-03:002011-10-13T23:48:30.056-03:00Great story and excellent portraits!
