Let’s face it, a big part of the French experience is centred around food. And wine, of course! So here are some pics of the food we ate, the markets we visited and why we love spending part of each year in France.

Firstly the markets…

Chalon-sur-Saone market.

Some wine tasting. And buying.

Gâteau á la brioche.

This may be my favourite stall at the market. Rotisserie chicken with the fat dripping onto the potatoes below.

You can’t get more French than garlic!

More delish food from the marché

This one’s for you Nick! 

Then there’s the food shops…

My personal favourite little something! 

Lovely shop in Pont de Vaux.

Local favourite.

Occasionally we ate out. Lunch is cheaper but just as good as dinner. Here we ate le déjeuner while admiring our lovely boat in the background in Tournus. A highlight for me.

There are healthy options when you eat out in France.

The night before we finally stepped aboard our boat we indulged in a degustation menu at Le Raisin (The Grape). The food was unbelievably good but once in a while occasion as it was REALLY rich! But so beautiful on the plate.

Gasp, there’s one missing!

Made a break for freedom but got as far as my tummy.

So good!

But that meal was a one off and here’s the kind of food we eat everyday…

This is how we love to eat on the boat in France.

Just yum.

I’m hungry now 😄 Pass me the baguette!
