Rungis!

We went on our class trip to Rungis yesterday. Let me explain - this is the biggest market (it has a surface area of 232 hectares) in the world. It's absolutely huge and a Chef's dream!
Fresh meat, fish, dairy produce and flowers at your fingertips and all fresh as quality control is of the utmost importance!

We got up super early for our grand tour and arrived at the market around 7am and we proceeded to enter the meat building. I took lots of pictures - they really are worth 1,000 words, if not more. ha! It was quite an experience and I really was in awe of the setup of the buildings and how efficiently this market is run. Like clockwork and everything is synchronized right down to the tracing of the meat etc. The only thing we did not get to see in the market was the fish building as this is done at night between the hours of 1am -6am.

Enjoy the photos and check out the Rungis Market website if you're interested in more information!
