The Covered Market or Halles of Etretat, part II !!!

Posted in Food and Wine, France

Moving about in my road warrior mode I have come into more pictures in my cd rom vault that should be in my blog for you and me, This had mentioned in other post ,do see the covered market of Etretat, Étretat is located in the Seine-Maritime department 76 in the Normandie region of my belle France. It is 16 km from Fécamp ,48 km from Saint-Valery-en-Caux, 45 km from Honfleur, 197 km from Versailles, and 424 km from my current home,We arrive by the D940 and parked at parking Place de Gaulle for free ! Therefore, here is my take on the Covered Market or Halles of Etretat, part II !!!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.

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…etc.

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 All rights reserved.
