At the opposite end of the Place
des Lices, bordering on Avenue Foch, you'll find the best produce at the marché,
sold by shy Italian who goes by the name of Pietro and who generally avoids eye contact
with his customers. While you may not find him easy to engage in conversation, you
will find that his tomatoes, melons, apricots, white peaches, figs and basil are the best
at the marché.
Pietro reluctantly divulges that he has a small farm in la Môle, about 20
km from St.-Tropez, where he grows most of the produce he sells at the marché. But
he says he also buys some produce at the wholesale market to fill in what he doesn't grow
himself. |
