les halles de béziers






If you happen to find yourself in Bezier of a Sunday morning, the best thing to do is to head to the covered market. It's an old school wrought iron market, filled with cheese, fish, fruit & vege, meat and local produce stalls. We brought a fresh out of the oven pizza and took it to eat at the market bar - La Gargote des Halles.
In fact on the blackboard the staff have written a note to say they're happy to cook your market purchases for a small charge. A bit like charging corkage or BYO (bring your own - alcohol) a common occurance back in the day in New Zealand.

  4. european markets are so so different to the ones we find here in asia. everything looks so luxurious!
    for a moment there i thought that fresh oven pizza was a dessert; blueberries with lemon and sugar. either way it looks delicious!
