Mesnil Market Sunday 29th July

Up early with disastrous shab. Still, the thought of fresh produce and wandering around a traditional rural French market inspires the senses, so after a a brain-freeze inducing cold (free, oui!) shower lake-side, off we go to Mensil market.

Mensil market consists of two vans. Yes two. Not quite the glorious spread of fruit and veg we were hoping for. One of the vans is selling roast chicken (?!) and the other is manned by a hopeful Frenchman purveying a small selection of dubious looking homebrew.  Market fail. Straight to boulangerie for breakfast supplies, plate sized croissants see us right. Decide that Mesnil has given us all it has to offer so off we go.
