JGN left early this morning; I was up to see him off, then went down to the market, which fills the meridian in the Blvd Raspail (10 minute walk). It goes on for several blocks. (I didn't have my camera so these are borrowed from the web). The seafood stalls are amazing (saw a giant lobster for 78 euros, also sea urchins and tons of oysters, huge clams, scallops in their shells, etc.) as are the meat sellers (see photo of lamb, below). I bought some goat yogurt in little glass jars and splurged on some creme fraiche to go with strawberries, which are gorgeously red, inside and out; also baby red lettuce, haricots verts, and a small beet shaped like a sweet potato.
