Oysters


Oysters are everywhere at Christmas. I wouldn't mind a euro for every box of oysters I saw piled up around the market. You can buy them to
take home, of course, but you can also buy them, as you see here, to eat in a little restaurant with a glass of wine and served with a Menton lemon.

Il y a des huîtres partout à Noël. Je serais heureuse d'avoir un euro pour chaque boîte d'huîtres que j'ai vu entassées autour du marché. Vous pouvez les acheter pour ramener à la maison bien sûr, mais vous pouvez également les déguster, comme vous le voyez ici, dans un petit restaurant avec un verre de vin et servies avec un citron de Menton.
