The belly party - 2018 Edition
On this Saturday, October 13, we left with one of my aunts and her husband to introduce them to the Belly Festival where local artisans and elsewhere showcase their products.
A friendly atmosphere, discoveries, delicious food, colors and lots of people
A party with fanfare thanks to music from different eras. From yesterday to today .
We returned broken but delighted.
Placid, this magnificent cat perched on its 2nd floor window looked at us, humans, with its almost condescending gaze.
I imagined myself being him, wondering what we all had, like ants, waving from right to left. What were we doing there?
To dare to disturb its usual tranquility. His generally quiet street had become a shambles.
Obviously, humans are a strange race to him!
I'm sure our feline friend would have loved this gourmet salty stall!
But he rightly preferred to observe us ....
With fanfare!
The Funky Muppets
"Incognitos" with colors
With fanfare...

Funky the Muppets
The Funky Muppets are in a very good mood
My video of the " Funky Muppets " ... I had to sneak in before I could find myself facing them to film them correctly ... at least I tried They were great and gave a groovy smile to the crowd.
Arriving at the Place du Vieux Marché, I find myself facing a charming couple from another era.
Costumed, accompanied by their barrel organ, I found myself in another time,
that of street singers from a distant time.
A real moment of happiness.
" Street singers " with yesterday style.
You'll notice that it's Misses who pulls the bulkiest! ...
"Let's sing together!"
A clear voice from another time
A smile that takes us away
A song that drives us back into time ...
"I'm talking to you about a time that those under 20 cannot know ..."
Jeanne d'Arc street, a trio of musicians. A different but equally enchanting style of music.
Never without their dog.
Music of the world
Some gifted musicians
The party is in full swing

Tasty bread
If the bread could only have a crust, I would be delighted, not being a fan of the crumb
But there, I absolutely wanted to buy these breads baked over a wood fire in front of us. I love to buy directly from producer* to customer. See the manufacturing is a plus.
This time the miracle happened: I ate the crumb. Dense and tasty. A real taste !
In order not to lose this huge country bread, we cut it in slices and put it in the freezer. One way to ensure the freshness of the bread when I toast it .... with butter and my mother's homemade jams! Yes, I am spoiled and greedy.
* Monsieur Serge Enée is the manufacturer of these breads. Click on the photos to see its various organic breads.
Vegetables of yesteryear
Yesteryear is back !
Known and unkonwn
But what is it ?
Your choice !
Already celebrated in the 1930s, the Normandy Belly and Gastronomy Festival in Rouen has become one of the region's unmissable events thanks to the Rouen Conquérant association, which has brought it up to date. This event takes place in the Old Market district, the historic center of the city and, because of the works in the city, was also transposed this year rue Jeanne d'Arc for its 19th edition.
There were also many foreign tourists whose enthusiasm and comments I was delighted to hear. It's a great pleasure and what a promotion abroad for producers, local exhibitors!
A Cheers !
