There’s something about the French way of life that involves people planning their days around the village markets in France. It’s a routine each morning – work out what day it is, which can be hard when you are on holiday, and then work out which village has its market on that day.
Today is Sunday in Provence, so it is the time for Isle sur la Sorgue market in the Vaucluse district to have its market. But it’s not just any market! It specialises in bric a brac and antiques, as well as offering all the best food and wine of the region.
I wanted to share with you these images of our time at the market today. For those have been here before then enjoy re-living your times here at this market, and for those who have not experienced the French markets then I hope this successfully seduces you and makes you do something about changing that!

It looks just as interesting if not more so than our Craft Market here in Hout Bay, Cape Town.
Our market is a great place to socialise and have a cup of coffee and slice of cake on a Sunday morning
Reminds us of our market day at Isle sur la Sorgue, with
John and ” The French Way”. Such alot to see, and
really so little time, fortunate to hear a beautiful concert
put on by a singer, selling her C.V’s . Such variety.
Ended the day with a perfect ” Fish ” Lunch at a special garden restaurant – just surperb. Once again, memories
of Provence.
