We drove 25 km south to Chagny. This large village is host on Sundays to an attractive market that spreads through most of the streets in the centre of the village, selling fresh and hot prepared food, and clothing. Where we enter there is a stall selling South American woollens while the vendor plays her pan flute, filling all the street with those dulcet tones.
We succumbed to the lure of a dozen enormous oysters (provenance unknown), a local soft goat cheese, and from a stall selling only the most delectable of fungi, a local Truffle.
As the rain was clearing this afternoon we explored our own home village of Villers la Faye on foot.
On our return home dinner was a degustatory feast- first course successfully shucked oysters seasoned with wine vinegar, second course baked vegetables, third course scrambled egg avec generous serve of truffle, accompanied by our local haute-cotes de Beaune, and dessert of escargot (the pastry kind) fresh from the village boulanger this morning.
The photo collection is from the Chagny market and our village.
