Tarragon and Truffles

Anna Gregg

Traditional food markets and flea markets; markets devoted to foie gras or fahion bargains, oysters or truffles; massive everything-including-the-kitschen-sink markets and magical Christmas markets. In a region-by-region guide, Anne Gregg picks out her personal favourites, usually in the most beguiling towns and villages, and points out the specialities to look vor, be they Mirabelle plums or Provencal cottons. For good measure, "Tarragon & Truffles" includes sections on nearby highlights - a historical curiosity, a shop or a restaurant not to be missed - as well as suggestions of where to stay, completing each chapter with an at-a-glance alphabetical list of all the weekly markets in that region. This guide is essential for getting the most out of French markets. "Tarragon & Truffles" creates a sense of actually being there; absorbing not only the scents and flavours of the markets, themselves, but atmosphere of their settings.
