Grab your straw french market basket and get to your nearest village for market day, as this is when most villages in France no matter how small or quiet come alive.
Cafés and bars are bustling with locals and visitors. The market stalls are overflowing with not only food, but clothes, shoes, bags (including the quintessential straw french market bag and the less glamorous but functional market trolley), toys, fabrics, kitchen utensils, and in some village markets even livestock (poultry mainly).
Local producers showcase and sell their produce, locals do their shopping, and visitors have the opportunity to buy and taste the region's specialties as well as have a chat and mingle with the locals themselves.
I adore these provincial markets not only for the shopping but for the wonderful photo opportunities.....it's colourful village life at its noisiest, yummiest and best.

ReplyDeleteHi Gai you can purchase the market baskets directly from my shop (see the shop page at the top of my page and when you have entered click onto market baskets to the right of the shop). Enjoy, they are certainly very handy. ;-))
