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.

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. |
