two days ago kourtney and i went to les halled de lyon. this is a super fancy indoor market that katie went to last year when we were here and bought some delicious cheese on a stick. the market is in the part dieu district of lyon (see this) and to get there we took metro D then B. above, i am pictured sampling a foie gras tarte with glazed apples on top.

voila :

it was purchased for three euros at this humble foie gras vendor :

foie gras is grossly overfed goose liver. but it looks pretty here :

les halles de lyon also sold regular things like bread :

…and massive artichokes :

…and white asparagus :

…and veggies :

…and charcuterie :

…and cheese (amazing looking cheese) :

…and more cheese :

…and dead things :

if you’ve got a sweet tooth, les halles might also be the place for you :

yum, fruits confit! :

a whole big mess of macaroons :

kourtney and i found the most delicious chocolate ever - chocolate with sel de mer (sea salt) :

kourtney is shocked with deliciousness :

then i bought this fucking awesome apple tarte :

i was blissful :

i’m a sucker for tarts. like these :

and check out these bonbons filled with booze :

and these yummy fruity chocolate chunks ”

we also saw this uber fancy japanesey sushi looking chocolate :

and check out this amazing paella! i thought i would wait til spain to eat paella, but this looked hella cool :

we ended the morn with a yummy cup of peruvian java :

thanks, les halles!!!!!
