Sundays in Bordeaux - relaxed and laid back.
We decided to head out to an outdoor market in Chatrons. It was sunny when we left our hotel but the weather turned very fast and we were caught in a heavy downpour. Luckily, within half an hour, the sun began to peak out from the clouds. Despite the sudden downpour, people were still out and about enjoying the oysters and beer, roasted chicken and ham, organic cheeses, fresh seafood and produce as well as baked breads.

After wandering through the market, we decided to follow the herd and joined the long queues for the organic cheese and rotisseries so we got a baguette, some cheese, a chicken and some ham to snack on. Go for the little mini ham - it was soooo good!
