Traditional Market
This big market, famous throughout the region, takes place on Sunday mornings, on and around the Place de la Mairie. They have everything: local specialities, not only food products but other things too, clothes, fruit and vegetables etc... As with other popular markets, you won’t be the only visitors, so it’s probably not best to go with a pushchair towards lunchtime...
