And my continuing road warrior trip back into our nostalgic Normandy, we visited two main towns and stayed between the two, perfect timing and location. We arrive to Etretat on the road D940 , and we walked the City center all over ! Let me tell you about the covered market or halles of Etretat, part I !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
The old covered market or halles at 16 Pl. Maréchal Foch, are a reconstruction of traditional wooden halls, partly executed with old materials, some of which would come from a barn in Brionne, by carpenters from the Channel, designed in 1926. It houses traders and craftsmen who sell souvenirs and various objects.
Built in the early 1900s, completed in 1928, the Old Market is the main attraction of the city center and has rented out the various small shops to vegetable, fruit and fishmongers. Currently, the Old Market no longer houses vegetable, fruit and fishmongers. When you go to the Covered Market, you will find small craft shops, local products and Etretat souvenir shops. Market day in Etretat is Thursday from 9h to 13h on Place du Maréchal Foch, just in front of the Covered Market. You will find everything there: vegetables, fruit, fish, mattresses…

Again, hope you enjoy the post on the covered market or halles of Etretat, part I !!! as I

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers
