Rogues Chapter Nine The Market -Luc the French Baker

Hastings Market is beside the South Coast Boardwalk, a popular place to stroll along the ocean. People from all walks of life amble, jog, stop to stare, or race along for their daily exercise. In the center of the boardwalk is the bandstand. From there, and on either side, one can see the bright pink Santa Neta apartments, the ArtSplash Learning Center, a patio cafe, and the farmers market.

The market is a United Nation of artisans. Many are Bajans, there are also British, Guyanese, Italian, and French, artisans residing in Barbados. About a dozen artisans attend the market with their crafts, art, and farm goods all grown or made by hand.

In This Chapter of Rogues in Paradise Luc, the French Baker shares his story of coming to Barbados and setting up his business. He produces some of the best french bread you will find anywhere- My favorite is his sourdough. In addition, there are also several other farmers and crafts men and women who add to the narrative with their own experiences. In fact, the market is a United Nations of crafts. There are Bajans, British, French, Guyanese, and Italian vendors now living and working in Barbados.

The chapter starts with the story of how Billy the Irish man established Hastings market and witnessed it expand past his dreams. Billy's motto is "Try it - its the only way you will know if it is a good idea and never fear failure. It is the way you learn."
