Marché des Lices

In Rennes, every Saturday morning, there is this outdoor produce market, kind of like a farmer's market, where they sell everything from flowers to vegetables to fruits to cheese, bread, and meat.  It's pretty cool. I have been like every weekend since I got here.  I don't buy anything, but I like to look at everything, especially the berries which I always want to buy. Also going through the meat part is interesting to me as there are great cuts of meat that look delicious right next to livers and hearts and tripe. Tasty. Then there are the cheese vendors who have like 30 different types of cheese or more.  And the bread vendors with their baguettes and other tasty looking loafs. Also, they have galette stands where you can buy galettes or crepes. A galette is basically a crepe for the main course of a meal. It's made with dark flour so of course it's darker. But you can put just about anything inside.  I have had one with ham, cheese, an egg and mushrooms.  So good. Also there is this thing called galette saucise which is a galette with a sausage in the middle.  It's good too. The best part is that they are really cheap. Also they are the specialty of Brittany along with crepes. I came to the right place.
