Owners Recommendations

'French Market Experience'
"Enjoy trying out your French at your local markets (both antique and fresh produce). Bourgueil TUES. Chinon THURS. Saumur SAT. Montsoreau SUN. All are recommended. Flea markets held at Montsoreau 1st SUN in the month, and Chinon 2nd SUN in the month. Some good bargains to be had."
