Farmers' Market in Lunéville

We've got a farm shop not far but a farmers' market is different. You can have a chat with the farmers, they make you taste what they sell, ask for opinions and you are tempted more easily.

The marché fermier happens twice a month in Lunéville from March to December and we had not been there this year.

I knew more or less what I wanted to buy before seeing the stalls. We chose yoghurts first, made in the farm they taste different. The Questche-cannelle (questche plum - cinnamon) ones are really good. My Husband added pear, banana, coconut, chocolate... to the basket. Then we looked at vegetables, I think they came from greenhouses as it is too cold to have zucchini in the garden already. There were also organic bread, pâté and sausages.

Our next stop was for cheese : a munster au cumin with such a strong smell that it is kept in a box in the fridge (Strangely one part was missing already when I opened the fridge again. The house-elf, maybe.) We finished with honey and walked along stalls with snails, chickens, jams and juices without choosing anything.

It was pleasant to be at the castle again and I had a go around the new decoration which must be appreciated when it is dark as we saw lights in it. The light show with fountains starts next week in the evenings, we may go there again to enjoy it.
