THE QUAI DES CHARTRONS MARKET IN BORDEAUX
Europeans know how to do open air markets! And pain!! All I could do not to buy loaf upon loaf.
The market was probably half a mile long quayside on their riverfront esplanade. And it was a truly glorious day! We people watched, walked to the parliament building area, found an open air lunch and ambled back to our neighborhood.
I spent some hours reading at the park just by our hotel near a small museum and botanical garden. Shared a bench with a friendly local man who seemed to know all the young families. Not an empty bench to be found. The park was packed and showed no sign of emptying by nearly 6pm when I left.
Gene and Mary found a lovely local Italian restaurant for dinner, Peppone. Great pasta and pizza for a change of pace.
Nice day!!
Meanwhile & Far Away 
I think spell check got the best of your French spelling of bread. Maybe it was painful not to purchase and eat all of it!
