Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables outside, and inside there are too many stores to list that sell breads, cakes, cheeses ( I have never seen so much cheese in my life!!), meats of all kinds, beef, pork, lamb, fish, ..... and cooked food!!!

If you want to eat at the restaurants upstairs, make sure you arrive early (~11:45 am) so you can get an outside seat. Bonne dégustation :)

For those traveling back to the US, Xavier does offer cryo-vac, so your cheese will keep well during your remaining travels. Hopefully, they don't get confiscated by the uninformed US border patrol.
