Paris Markets

An unexpected surprise when we arrived in Paris at 7am was this gorgous market in Bourg-Tibourg Place across the street from our darling hotel near Hotel de Ville and a refreshing breakfast of cafe creme and a shared punnet of raspberries while wandering towards the Seine.

Eveleigh Farmers' Markets

Toby's Estate coffee & banana streusel muffin from Sweetness Patisserie + Sonoma artisan sourdough

rhubarb + the length of the undercover market + lady w/ flowers + radishes

roses + fruit & veg + apple pie & fresh apples + leeks & rhubarb

looking out from Carriageworks + crossing the tracks to the cafe inside + rows of stalls + a shopper with purple dahlias

Families and foodies gathered about the refurbished railway workshop at the Eveleigh Railyards for the first Saturday weekly market to buy their farm fresh fruit and veges, eggs, cheese, bread, tarts, baskets, tiny pastel marshmallows, bunches of flowers and pots of fresh herbs. I cannot recommend these beautiful markets highly enough. Stunning quality produce, Toby's Estate coffee and the smell of fresh rolls stuffed with gourmet smoked bacon and the freshly laid eggs greet you as you enter. There's plenty of space for pups, kids, friends and families to wander about and start the day with a pastry or a bircher muesli muffin and have a little picnic where the trains once rested on the tracks before you. The workshop behind is now an amazing space housing the Anna Schwartz art gallery and Carriageworks performance space.

Diary Date - Eveleigh Farmers' Market - 28 Feb

I'm looking forward to the first of the weekely saturday Eveleigh Farmers' Market on 28 Feb from 8am to 1pm and I'll be returning on Sunday 1 March for the Artisnas Market showcasing emerging local artists and designers.
