Rogues in ParadiseChapter #9 The Market -Luc the French Baker

The chapter tells the story of how Billy the Irish man established the marketplace and saw it develop  past his hopes.  It is a very multi-ethnic venue of extraordinary personalities.

In this chapter 9 story Luc, the French Baker, shares his story of coming to Barbados and starting a bakery. He produces 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 enliven the experience with their own colourful experiences. It is a mini-United Nations with vendors who are Bajan, French, Britsih and others mingling with visitors from everywhere.

The Hastings Market stands just off the South Coast Boardwalk, a favourite place to stroll along the seashore, with its changing tides, wind-blown sand mounds, waves, surf, and weather. People amble, jog, stop to stare, or pelt along for their daily workout. 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.
