Sunday / On the other bank of the Saone ...

On Sunday, I visited three markets -- the pet and farmer's market at Perrache, the vegetable and fruit market on the Bellecour end of the Saone river, and then, an artists' market just on the other side of the Saone river.

As I had never ventured over to the other side of the Saone on a Sunday, I was surprised to find painters hawking their paintings, which ranged from cutesy manga-like designs to dark, Francis Bacon-like oil paintings reaching upwards of 1000 EUR ($1300) for large museum-sized canvases. As I was just browsing through the offerings, I didn't find anything that I would've liked to buy for myself, but I suppose I'll be browsing here more often.
