Sweetgrass baskets sold Meeting streetby GUYON
The former food market has been transformed into a tourist market.
On 3 blocks, under the market buildings, there are small shops and simple tables to sell the international stuff we find everywhere : wooden things, Tshirts, toys, etc..
Not very interesting.
Only if you wish to bring back a gift for your mother in law.
What to buy: The only typical things we saw were the handcraft baskets sold by youngers. They tell it is a traditional activity coming from the slavery epoch. I saw the boys with the grass in hand and the baskets but I never saw one making one by himself. So it could be "made in China items"...
