We travel to France so often and are spoiled by all the amazing open air food markets and museum-like gourmet stores. Every now and then we bring some of the amazing finds into the boutique and our clients for samplings to try and to take home. We now share some of these epicurean delights with you....we wish we could bring an entire market online!
