Le Marché
The large fresh produce market of Pointre-a-Pitre can be intimidating. Dozens a vendors, mostly women, selling many of the same items vie for your attention with calls of “Vini Doudou”, which means, come here sweetheart, in Guadeloupean Creole. If you can handle the pressure you can by some good produce at a good price. The vendors are usually very knowledgeable and helpful and will aide you in choosing the best items depending on when you want to eat them. It’s best to pick one vendor and buy everything there, it gives you more leverage on the price. If you are simply visiting the market DO NOT take pictures of the vendors without asking and/or buying something. They are quick to cove their faces and cart and will berate you in Creole if you persist. Fair warning.
