samanta Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 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!!!)...and the artists, Funky, eyecatching pottery from La Rochelle babe, Gail; handmade leather handbags to die for, unique glasswork from Chauney, Metalwork, handcrafted jewellery - fantasie and silver, ceramics....etc....etc... all members of the Metiers d'Art. the commercant chalets are near place de la Breche, next to the temporary ice rink. opening times for the chalets are 10am - 7pm everyday, the Marche nocturne is saturday 15th until 9pm ( weather permitting) There will be a visit from Santa at the night market too. 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!) Hope to see you there! samanta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastet Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Hi Samanta,At the risk of being accused of encouraging advertising, what do you sell? Will there still be parking at La Breche? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchie Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I am not advertising anything , and I think Samanta is just informative, because yes, this Christmas market is great, I wouldn't miss it !! When I have no ideas for pressies, I often find good ones there, and the atmosphere is fun. And yes, for the moment it is still possible to park at " La Brèche " .

Bastet Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I was merely curious as to what Samanta offered on her stall, and whether parking would still continue to be available at La Breche, at the same time as the market. I know it's still available at the moment..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has a website & I'm sure she won't mind if I put it on here. I hope the mods don't mind either http://www.samantabijoux.eu/ Sorry, can't help re the parking question.Actually, just noticed, she has a www button under her posts too!
