One of my favourite parts of living in France is the markets. I was up early one morning in Les Issambres, so decided to brave the crowds and head down to the local market with my camera. I probably would have been better on foot, as it took longer to find a parking spot than it would have simply to walk down the hill, but at least I didn’t have to walk back UP the hill!
