Saturday morning market at Place Dalton

Voila, Fred's patisserie, everyone's favorite pâtisserie in Boulogne. And everything here is delicious. But this week I did discover that the best place for baguettes, contrary to popular belief, is Depaepe's. But Fred's has a lot more to offer, and you can eat a pastry or lunch upstairs or drink an espresso.


The market this morning at Place Dalton was bustling. Lots of seafood, flowers, cheeses, vegetables, fruit, meat, and much more is sold every Saturday morning here. All of the meat dealers at this market sell horse sausage, sadly. Horse meat is popular in the north of France, or at least historically it was popular with working class folks, and by the quantity available at the market, must still be popular for some people.
