Ste. Foy hosted it's final Marche de Producteur for the season last night. It was extremely lively and quite festive. We had to wait about 30 minutes in line at our favorite beef producer only to find out that he was sold out of some of the cuts of meat he normally sells. We got a pave that was delicious and accompanied by pommes dore. We had arranged to dine with 2 other couples and others (a quilter and friends) also joined us. RXC did his video routine (remember Chick crossing the Atlantic?) much to everyone's amusement. The music was provided by a French New Orleans Jazz band which played all the classics.
This community event is one of our favorites of all the organized summer activities in the region. It's end signals that with the approach of quinze Aout (August 15th) just about all of France will be on vacation, the size of the Saturday market will diminish, buying school supplies in LeClerc will become frenetic, and the vines will be quite as we await the vendange.
