Rogues Chapter #9 The Market -Pâtisserie Luc
Chapter 9
tells the story of how Billy the Irish man
started Hastings Farmers Market
market place and witnessed it
progress past his
hopes. It is a multi-ethnic gathering of
eccentric personalities.
In this chapter 9 story Luc, the French
Baker, shares his story of coming to Barbados and setting
up his bakery. He creates some of the best french
bread you will find anywhere- My favorite is his
sourdough.
Luc is not alone, there are about a dozen
vendors who enhance
the day with their own colourful
character. It is a mini-United Nations
with vendors who are Bajan,
French, Britsih and others mingling with visitors from everywhere.
The
Hastings Market is just off the
South Coast Boardwalk, a favourite place to stroll along the
ocean. People amble,
jog, stop to stare, or pelt along for their daily
workout. Tropical plants, sea grapes, spider lilies, yuka,
sea cabbage, ferns, and shoreline ground cover create a mystical natural 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 farmers market.
