Marchand dipain

While many among you have to go to the bakery every day, very few have the chance to have their daily bread delivered by whom we common call as “Marchand dipain” in our creole language.

I always remember having our daily bread delivered to our house early every morning. Despite the cold weather or heavy rainfall, this man always fullfills his job for years now. The only times he might not be able to come to horn at our door everyday are when he is seriously ill or he has taken a few holidays.

Today, I finally took this picture while he was delivering the bread, and I even got late too while waiting for him lol.

It has become a very rare scene in our modern life and there are less chances that they exist in urban areas. During the few times he was unable to bring our bread, it was really a problem for me to get up earlier than usual and get to the nearest bakery everyday. My life (as well as many persons in my neighborhood) would be so difficult without his services.

Thumbs up to this man who gets my bread into the basket that you can see in the above pictures.

Do you have a “marsand dipain” or do you buy your bread yourself everyday?

    Yashvin ti pé bien dire: “It has become a very rare scene in our modern life and there are less chances that they exist in urban areas.”
    Vacoas-la pas enn la-ville ça hein…
    Parski, étant momem enn habitant Vacoas depi pliss ki 30 banané, Vacoas c’est pas enn la-ville, c’est enn dortoir urbanisé. A la limite, c’est enn ville-dortoir: check enn koutt Vacoas so “city centre” dans, disons, Mercredi tanto: l’ambiance top lafaya! Zeudi gaspiyaz. Ou-bien enn Dimans gramatin.
    Ou bien faire enn le-tour dans la-zournée, apré 9hr… Si pa ti ena plis grand la-foire Dodoland la-bas, mo cwar dimoun ti pou perr koz fort dans lari. 🙂

    1. It is nearly the same at my place too. We just hang the bag there and after putting the bread there, he will just horn once to let us know. If ever we forgot to place the bag, he will put the bread in a plastic bag.

      I am glad that this article brought some memories to you 🙂

    1. To reste dans movais partie Triolet lol.

      The bread from Dawood is one of the best in Triolet. L’Amiral is nice too but since Dawood opened its doors, I take my bread there. However, I do not know from which bakery my “marsand dipain” gets his stock. 
      The most important : I must get my bread 🙂

  10. I think that you are a lazy guy who enjoys your bread from the comfort of your sweet home while your so-called “marshand dipain” needs to struggle so early every morning to get your bread delivered.
    Next time, wake up 10 mins earlier, walk to your bakery and buy your own bread.
