Our first day in the Sainte Foy Bordeaux appellation and we decided to head off to the Saturday market. The marché in Sainte-Foy-de-Grande is extensive, full of people and had many vendors that we do not get in the marchés in the Dordogne.
Not only was there extensive produce and fruits available, but there was excellent fish, meats, sausages, and my favorite dried fruits stuffed with foie gras. These little delicacies were so tasty and sweet, it was like candy from heaven.
Bottom line if you are visiting the Sainte Foy Bordeaux appellation, you must make time to go to the Saturday market in Sainte-Foy-de-Grande.

Fresh Mussels
Yummy looking mussels.
Here is a mixture of the dried figs stuffed with foie gras as well as some prunes stuffed with foie gras. We have both for tonight.
The highlight of the day, these dried figs were filled with foie gras. Such unbelievable flavor!
A French speciality, Radis Noir. I just can’t get my head around eating a black radish.
We just could not make up our minds on what we wanted to prepare and eat tonight.
Oh the prunes were so good at the marché
Yummy garlic, shallots and onions.
Very interesting way to present and sell Endive. The plant was still attached to the roots in a holder with some dirt. The vendor just broke off the vegitable when you bought it.
The marché at Sainte-Foy-de-Grande is extensive and almost every street has at least a couple of vendors. However we found one that was still empty.
The oranges were looking so fresh and tasty today.
