The market in Valençay

I've posted pictures from the open-air market over in Valençay before, but here are some more. We went there yesterday. We didn't go onto the château grounds or into the buildings because we didn't have time, but we saw the château from down below, south of town.

And here's a link to an earlier post about Valençay and its market. If you type Valençay in the search box at the top of the page and click on the magnifying glass, you 'll find others.

Our purpose was to do a little food shopping. We ended up getting some turkey sausages for lunch. Valençay is no. 3 on the list of local attractions, which is headed up by Chenonceau and Chambord castles. So we've done all three this week.

The weather was sunny in the morning but rain started in the afternoon. I had an appointment at the radiology lab over in Selles-sur-Cher in the afternoon to have my ankle x-rayed. The conclusion of the radiologist: « Rien de cassé. » Nothing's broken.

resembling coleslaw, or cooked like other root vegetables


I asked the radiologist if I should go back to see my doctor.
« Eventuellement », he said. That means "if need be, if you think you should." It does not mean "eventually" in the time sense, as in English. So it's up to me.
