Fougeres Market, Brittany 06-2017

Whilst staying at Chateau Bois-Guy, the close little town of Fougeres had their Saturday market. It was a convenient place to get some brunch/lunch prior to the afternoon wedding.

I had feared it may be only produce and wares but this was allayed by the first smells and sights of the market. After driving around for 20 mins to find parking, the classic sausage sizzle could not be passed by. I had heard that sausages wrapped in galette was a local thing and sure enough it was available here. It did seem a little strange but I suppose it's just a bread replacement. The sausage and mustard were good too.

The only other food to eat I liked was a large rotisserie place that served a delicious large roasted duck leg, rotisserie chicken (that I didn't try) and hot potatoes that sat under the chickens as they turned and dripped their juices. They were served burning hot and coated in fat drippings.

Some French cheese (Brittany isn't known for cheese), local dried and cured sausages, and bread was taken away for lunch. There was also lots of mussels and fruit/vegetables.
