France trip, Jul 2007 - Local markets

In the Provence region, there are a number markets everyday. There is usually a market within the distance of a 20 minutes drive.

SP and I visited a couple of the markets. I love the small town markets and we also stocked up on a number of French produce.

The Sault market, which has a history all the way back to 1515.

Lavender bouquets. Great for hanging.

Lavender sold by weight

Fresh veg


Sausages. We love the French sausages.


Cheese. This is not the supermarket stuff!

Roast birds. The French birds taste better than the English and Australia ones.

"Security guard" at one of the store


Summer truffles.



Ham. I love cured ham. It was too big to bring back to the UK though.
