The girls and I were delighted when our landlady informed us
that there was a Sunday market in the nearby
village
of Issigeac. What a great way to launch our first full day
in
France!!!! We got up to a hot sunny morning, got dressed
and headed off to one of the best and biggest markets in the area. We were lucky to source a parking space right
away and headed down the streets of this medieval village filled with stalls
and people in the picturesque streets with a beautiful old church as a
centerpiece. There were so many
different stalls from huge varieties of fresh fruit & veg, meats, pastries,
hot food (even one selling Chinese food!), wine, clothes, shoes, jewelry, crafts,
souvenirs, etc. Lots of interesting stuff!!!
I went to take a picture of a stall with ladies handbags and the man
from the stall jumped out from behind a table so fast he nearly knocked me down
to shout “no, no!!!!”(…..must be knockoffs of designer goods!!!) We stocked up on fruit and vegetables, bought
some pastries to try, some chicken lo mein, and a chicken & veg pie!
A French street
musician’s songs drifted through the market, adding the perfect atmosphere to
this wonderful part of French culture myself, Jess and Blue immersed ourselves
in with pure joy!
