Every little town and village has a local weekly market - the heart of the village comes alive, even if it's just for one day.
I've tried to make a list of the markets and the day they are on. If you know of a market that's not on the list, even if it's really tiny, then please let me know. (or if I've made a mistake...)
In general the markets are only in the morning, by 12h30 they are all packed up and the stall holders are having their well earned lunch at a local cafe.

Ste Foy la Grande has just been voted the most prefered market in France by a poll organised by the French TV channel M6. They polled nearly twice the number of votes that the runner-up, the city of Lille.
