To step away from some of the band portraits, on the Saturday of the festival in Rennes, I once again went to the second largest market in France - Marche des Lices.
You can get oysters shucked for you on site, there are meats, and cheeses, and wine…so much you don’t know where to look.
Here are a few shots from the afternoon (and one from the view from my hotel of the cinema across the way).
First post of my #CmacSeesLondonCmacSeesFrance tour is from Rennes. Aside from the Trans Musicales festival, I got to do a little bit of wandering around this beautiful city, and the festival was gracious enough to put together a walking tour in English.
Things I learned:
- A LOT of Rennes burned down in a fire, and it was due, ironically, to a drunken carpenter
- Their market on the Saturday is amazing. You can buy practically anything, including oysters that they’ll shuck for you on the spot.
- You can eat and drink said oysters in public and it’s the greatest.
- There is a place called “Poutine Bros” that is decked out in Canadian stuff, and has menu items named after Rob Ford and Carey Price to name a few.
