One of the highlights of many people's visit to France is a visit with us to one of the best traditional produce markets in the Touraine Loire Valley. Fruit, vegetable and mushroom growers, fishmongers, butchers (some of them specialists in pork products or horse or even offal!), poulterers, apiarists, cheesemakers and bakers all have stalls to sell their locally grown produce. It's lively and full of locals, the stalls are laid out with appetising and tempting displays of fresh food.
People queue at the offal butcher's on the left, for vegetables grown just across the river on the right and chat with friends in the middle.
If you would like to soak up the atmosphere at a typical rural farmers' market in the Touraine Loire Valley
email us and we will design a tour for you that includes a visit to Loches market (Wednesdays and Saturdays only).
