The Saturday market in Revel has been going on since the 14C. This market is one of the best in the region, has been designated one of the 100 Most Beautiful Markets in France and it does live up to that honor! Around the covered central square and spilling out onto the spokes(streets) off that square is a wealth, a cornucopia of beautiful seasonal fruits and veggies, breads, cheeses, pastries, meats, olives and tapenades and more- a feast for the body and eyes. Everything is artfully arranged and the pull to sketch and take photos cannot be ignored.

I’m planning to mix of palette of summer colors- the colors I see in the ripe apricots, tomatoes still on the vine, fresh ground spices and the beautiful white to green asparagus- this week and see what polymer clay goodies might come forth from this market inspiration!
