Rogues Chapter #9 The Market -French Baker Luc
The chapter
tells the story of how Billy the Irish man
established Hastings Farmers Market
local market and witnessed it
expand beyond his
expectations. It is a very
multi-cultural venue of
extraordinary personalities.
In
this story of Chapter 9, Luc, the French
Baker, shares his story of coming to Barbados and starting a bakery. He makes some of the best french
bread you will find anywhere- My favorite is his
sourdough.
Luc is not alone, there are about a dozen
artisans who add to
the narrative with their own colourful
character. It is a mini-United Nations
with artisans who are Bajan,
French, Britsih and others mingling with visitors from everywhere.
Hastings Market located just off the
South Coast Boardwalk, a favourite place to stroll along the
ocean, with its changing tides, wind-blown sand mounds,
waves, surf, and weather. People amble,
jog, stop to stare, or pelt along for their daily
exercise. Tropical plants, sea grapes, spider lilies, yuka,
sea cabbage, ferns, and shoreline ground cover create a
magical outside experience. In the
center of the boardwalk is the bandstand. From there, and on either
side, one can see the bright pink Santa Neta apartments, the ArtSplash
Learning Center, a patio cafe, and the Hastings market.
