Markets are part of everyday life within Centre/Val
de Loire ( Loire Valley) with almost every town and
village having their local marchés.
A visit here is not complete without a wander around
the stalls sampling and taking in the atmosphere of
French life. It is here you will come to understand
part of the French psyche - for as you wait to
be served you might get a little frustrated with the
apparently idle chatter between the customer and
stall holder - but if you stop for a moment
you will realise that you can spare the time and
they have got it right!
Tours flower markets
held on Wednesday and Saturday mornings on the Boulevard Bérenger
are worth a visit as well as the markets in
Amboise, Descartes,
Langeais
and
Loches.
Markets in Tours
Several towns hold evening markets throughout the summer
