EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the lively atmosphere of a street market in the picturesque village of Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise, nestled in the heart of the Savoie region in France. Dating back to the 1960s, this scene transports us back in time to an era of traditional trade and community connection. At the center of the image, a skilled poultry seller expertly displays his fresh produce for potential customers. The men, dressed in traditional attire, haggle over prices and examine the birds with great care, their faces expressing a mix of curiosity, concentration, and delight. The seller holds a chicken by its feet, its claws tightly gripping the ground, while a hen pecks at the cobblestones nearby. Baskets filled with eggs and various poultry items are stacked high on the table, adding to the visual appeal of the scene. The vibrant colors of the market stalls, the warm sunlight filtering through the trees, and the bustling energy of the crowd all contribute to a sense of vitality and authenticity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise and the importance of local markets in providing fresh produce and fostering social interaction.
