  1. lol!!

    us market people do not 'take the rest of the month of'

     

    I wish!!!!

    You'll find most traders will travel around to various monthly markets and will probably have a regular pitch at a few weekly ones too!

    I don't know the markets in your region, but there is a huge market at Roulliac the 27th of the month.

    As for bijoux, it depends what you're looking for, most markets seem to sell the cheap baubly stuff. If you're looking for something special, you may be better with craft / Artisanart markets.

    Just keep looking in your local papers for dates.

    Or try the Islands July / August. There are fab markets in almost all the towns every morning.

    St Denis and Domino are particularly lovely morning markets.

    there's a big one in Ars (no pun intended!!!)

     

    happy shopping!

  6. [quote user="ErnieY"]If it's really important to you might think about temporarily removing all the caravanny bits which wouldn't comply and try your luck with it just as a VW van [;-)][/quote]

     

    Don't do this, you'll need to replace camping area with original seats / seatbelts and the Carte gris will be for a van, not a camping car.

     

    Veritas is the official body who issues the camping car certificate, 215€. some departments are easier than others. I had to remove all my gas appliances in dept. 79, but other people have been luckier.

     

    all the best!!

     

     

  7. Starts next wednesday 12th December  - 24th December.

    Rue Victor Hugo (just next to 'Serpent' road!!!!)

    you'll find the farmers produce 'chalets'  : ostriche products from the famous farm at Couhe, esgargots, miel, pineau, wines, organic chutney from Celles sur Belles (highly recommended!!!)

    Don't miss the 'Vin chaud' chalet - always popular!!!

     

    Anyone new to the region, please come and experience this lovely underestimated  town.!!!! There are lots of lovely pedestrianised streets with gorgeous little boutiques and some great cafes!

    If you're still struggling with your French - don't worry, I'll point you in the right direction! Lots of the market people speak a little English if you ask nicely!!!!! Just ask for Samanta l'Anglaise!!!(I'll be there in my chalet!)

     

     

    There are a few free car parks near the Donjon (cross the river - you'll see the signs! - just a short walk to rue victor hugo!)
