Mushrooms
Saturday, June 13, 2009
While shopping for fruit at the Forville market in Cannes at 10:27 this morning, I came across this beautiful display of “1er choix” (first choice) mushrooms, more precisely boletus edulis or “cèpes”, as the French call them. This particular bunch was imported from Montenegro and thus had to travel further than the mostly local foods that are sold here. The Forville market with its wonderful displays of different foods is simply a delight, and we find ourselves wondering through its aisles more and more frequently. The market is not that old; it was designed by architect Henri Bret and completed in 1929. It is open mornings from Tuesday through Sunday; on Monday, Forville is home to a large flea market and antiques fair.
