A rather poetic friend once said to me, during a particularly gray day when clouds had eclipsed the city’s skies and rain overcame us, “I love it when Paris is in one of her moods.” Mood-related or not, winter weather in Paris can change overnight or even several times a day. Selection at the market shifts just as quickly, with every visit to your local marché bearing witness to the inevitable transition from the cornucopia of autumn vegetables to the more restricted choice of the winter harvest.
