This is not an "open" market place. This the sidewalk in front of the vegetable store. In most instances, the shopkeeper really does not want you to touch his wares. He will do that for you. All you do is point out what you want. This sidewalk is full, but his shop is even fuller!
And then there is fresh, warm bread! Well, this bread isn't so fresh or warm anymore, but you get the idea. My hub says he remembers when bread bakers went from door to door delivering fresh bread. Kind of like the milkman, which they had here, too.

What a treat to be able to buy that way!! Bet the bread is delicious!
It all looks wonderful. Rather funny to see "Jonagold" on the sign! :)
"The Jonagold apple, a high quality bicolor variety, was developed in Geneva, New York, tested at WSU Mount Vernon, and proved well adapted to a cool maritime climate. The first commercial plantings of Jonagold in this area were made in the 1970s. It is a leading commercial variety in Europe, particularly in the cooler climates of Belgium and Holland." Sue, I always thought it was a Dutch variety. Thanks for educating me. I can't grow apples in hot Louisiana, so I knew nothing about apples. Linda
Really enjoyed this : ) sending hugs...
