We love discovering flea markets and
little surprises in unexpected places. Brittany is full of them. A pot
bellied pig hanging out at the market... A mass of stripes at every turn
and world renowned oysters sold at low prices with big smiles. Here is a
flea market and a farmer's market on the shores of Brittany in Erquy.

Oysters, Oysters, Oysters... ahhhh! Eyes for Oysters in Brittany. Such goodness! |
|
Loved the delicious homemade apple cider from these friendly young gentlemen |
|
Cannot visit France without purchasing an Opinel knife. Seriously. |
|
Love the stripes on everyone... these dudes are stoked |
Our friend took us on a little day trip to various views and villages... this one was one of the most charming. Dinan.
|
The very charming and picturesque village of Dinan. We recommend stopping for lunch and a walk around here. |
|
Gainsbourg forever at this bar in Dinan |
|
A mysterious traditional Breton cake called Tourteau fromage à l'ancienne ( Tourteaux Jahan is a respected producer of these magical cheese cakes). Neither sweet nor savory but curiously delicious with a hint of char. |
|
A mysterious and abandoned house that we couldnt resist exploring after driving past it many times. I dream of doing a photo shoot here. |
|
La Ribote , a sweet little restaurant that serves fresh and tasty local cuisine in a casual setting. Just the way we like it. | | |
|
|
Kig Ha Farz, a traditional Breton dish with a buckwheat dumpling and bits of steamed meat. A sort of Brittany style Pot au Feu |
|
can't get enough Oysters! |
|
Lait Ribot, buttermilk, is often had with lunch and dinner in Brittany |
|
Café Gourmand... a french way of eating a bunch of dessert in tiny bite sized portions |
|
Fresh housemade fromage blanc with honey. One of my favorite traditional french desserts |
