Market in Mirepoix

Last market day in 2012

Lovely handmade cats and silk showls

Want to sharpened your knives while you stroll around the market and by your weekly vegetables?

Suddenly all the pidgeons lifted from the church

On the way home it's impossible not to see the traditionally decorated houses

My World no 9 – 11. May 2009

When Winnie visits, we want to drive around and enjoy this beautiful country.  This time we decided to take “The scenic road to Mirepoix” and eat lunch before making other plans for the day. This day was very clear and we could see the Pyrenées without too much mist. From La Pène we went to Escueillens and followed the signs to St Gauderic and Honoux. We could have used 25 min. but why rush when there are so many pictures to be taken.

Le marché de Mirepoix

Last week I mentioned Mirepoix. In Mirepoix there is a market every Monday. This towns name, Mirepoix, was used before 1062. Latin, “Mirum podium”.

La cathedral Saint-Maurice in the background. The first stone layed down in 1298.

What do you need more than bread,

cheese,

paella for dinner,

wine,

vegetables,

flowers,

sharp knives,

and warm feet .
