FRENCH MARKETS

France is the capitol with regards to Markets and they can be found weekly or bi-weekly in most towns and villages around France and are a "Must Do" on any visit.
 These vibey colourful markets are steeped in tradition, as often several generations of the same families have
 sold their produce at the same market. 
Fresh produce is key in French cooking, whether it's just home cooking or fine dining.
The French take pride in displaying the fruits of their labour come rain or shine.
 I must make mention that the market is also a meeting place for the villagers and a great place to catch upon the local news and gossip.
Enjoy!


The freshest Fruit and Veg from the region.



No market is complete with the Fromage stall selling dozens of local and national cheeses.






Not sure what you call this musical box, but the gentleman was very enthusiastic.



Olives of every description and to suit all tastes



Local fish including Eel.



Most rural markets have ducks and chickens for sale.



These were two pot bellied pigs, not for sale!
