Held every Sunday in the beautiful medieval town of Issigeac, this is a typical Perigord market…read morewith lots of shopping options, including food. It stretches throughout the old city center - centre ville and, curves through the laneways of this beautiful town. I have always loved the markets around France and this one is special as it's historic and there is about 200 vendors or more there. You get everything from fashion to food. A handful of people selling local fresh produce, truffles, foie gras and lots of cooked food like cakes and BBQ meats. Go early as it got really busy after 11am. Until then it was nice and quiet and the stalls were letting you sample all their foods. The highlight for me was the oyster man - 6 oysters for €5 and they were huge. I just stood there at the shop and ate them :-) lots of people were amused :-) The heirloom tomatoes I bought here were some of the sweetest I have ever tasted....yummmm, not to mention the figs stuffed with foie gras, unbelievable ;-)) I would come here in a heartbeat. It's a gorgeous market in beautiful settings.

This Sunday market has the best of fresh food and drink from all around the region - cheese, fruit,…read morefresh baked bread, vegetables, wine, meat and fish - and a huge range of non-food items as well. It is located throughout the town centre, and walking around it takes at least an hour without stopping to buy anything. Park by the Aveyron and cross the bridge into town and you can't miss the start of the market. It spreads throughout the town, with only a tiny fraction located in the market hall itself, and despite the number of small dogs and pushchairs around it's fairly easy to navigate, although you may have to push a little to get near the most popular stalls. Many stallholders speak a little English (or are ex-pats) but all appreciate it if you make an attempt to order in French first!

I came here on a Saturday morning. I prefer these kind of old school markets instead of the new…read morefood halls that have started opening. The locals come here and it's definitely not touristy. The produce vendors are here early at 6:00 AM but the food stands don't open until at least 8:00 AM. There's also flowers, clothing, baked goods, fishmongers, cheesemongers, and butchers. I wish I could eat seafood in the morning since the Cap Ferret oysters did look good. Instead, I went to the crepe stand. My friend and I ordered a citron crepe and a sausage galette. The crepe and galette were made to order and delicious. The savory sausage galette had a creamy mustard sauce with fresh chives so it was amazing. I wish I could eat more (such problems I have) so I'll definitely have to come back!

EGLISE SAINT MARIE Started with a walk down town to the…read morehistoric heart of Sarlat. Checked out the many restaurants on our way before stopping at the market in the Church of Sainte Marie, mainly artisan stuff. Helped ourselves to a chunk of white cow's milk cheese and a punnet of strawberries which went a long way towards lunch at the gite. The high building of the old church is certainly the most unusual site fro a market that I've come across though I know they use an old church as a restaurant in Skibbereen.
