Crêpes At The Mar­ket In Nantes

Crêpes (very thin cooked pan­cakes) are Brittany’s national dish. They can be sweet (crêpes) and cooked with but­ter, sugar, choco­late honey etc. Or, they can be salty (galettes) and be filled with ham, eggs, cheese, mush­rooms, spinach etc. There are a lot of crêperies (crêpes restau­rants) in Nantes, and they are even sold on the market!

French also like quiches (a baked dish in a pas­try crust). The most com­mon one is the quiche lor­raine, with bacon and cream, but all kind of fill­ings are avail­able, like toma­toes, cheese etc.

Nantes being close to the sea­side, there are also tons of seafood. The most “French” may be the oys­ters and the Coquille St Jacques (scal­lops in a scal­lop shell). The sea-salt is hand-harvested locally.

Cheese is of course a French favorite, with hun­dreds of dif­fer­ent kinds!
