This morning Emily and I headed for Chatou to attend the 83rd annual "Foire National aux Antiquités et aux Jambons". It was a massive antique fair, also featuring (as a good French event always does,) HAM. We had a great time shopping and exploring both treasures old and modern.

One of the most fun aspects of the show was seeing all of the vendors taking a lunch break. Tables and chairs came out, along with the baguettes and bottles of wine, and each section sat down to homemade, leisurely lunches, right in the middle of the fair.
And what about us? Well, no need to worry. There was plenty of food available for the shoppers, too!

We enjoyed galettes for lunch (savory buckwheat crepes), but shared a piece of Kouign Amann for dessert. It's a sticky, sugary slice of butter-heaven. I would have taken a better photo, but we dug in a little too quickly.
