September has always been my favorite month to cook in France. My local Saturday market in Arles is an embarrassment of riches. My summer favorites – riotous multicolored tomatoes, smooth shiny eggplants, drippy melons and peaches are still around, but the figs and plums are back, and the artichokes are beginning to come in from Brittany.
No doubt living here in France, it is a culinary dreamscape. It’s not that the rest of the world doesn’t produce veggies, seafoods, charcuterie, wines, breads, cheese and other diary products. But, all at an artisanal level?, not like the French.

Brilliant! Thanks so much. Have merrily bounced the link to this post to ohhh - seven people.
When you have time to ponder, could you please consider doing a post on what one may do when you have a few lemons on hand?
Wonderful! I just brought back Dijon mustard from France a couple of weeks ago! I’ll be making this recipe this weekend 😍

Wow!! These look so amazing - I might have to find my way to some figs!
