AUGUST

Markets, found length and breadth of the region, are sure to whet your appetite and you'll find everything you need in the countless local markets, generally held on a Saturday morning, full of superb local foods, wine and crafts, a pleasure that can only add to your discovery of the region. On Sunday, visit our many brocantes, puces, vide-greniers and foires brocantes (all types of antique and bric-a-brac markets). Taste the gastronomic delights at our food fairs usually held over weekends.
