When I speak of market I include in this the shops of village, the so-called gourmet, fairs and even the verges of roads if necessary, where we sometimes find vendors that offer directly their production and they do have to stop me inevitably to satisfy my curiosity and my desire to buy products from first of more direct hand of producer
