Shopping at the local markets really is something special. In the “Vallee de la Ceze” we are spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding when and where to do your shopping. Nearly everyday there is a market on in one town that is within 20 minute driving distance. This allows you to experience and enjoy all the amazing local produce that the locals enjoy everyday!
Today I was in Barjac, where the market is held every Friday. Barjac has a long tradition of growing Lavender and therefore you will see many Lavender products. Below are pictures of on producer distilling pure Lavender oil at the market. The smell was amazing!
The oil was collected in the glass container below;
Other typical products on sale were handmade soaps that come in all colours & flavours;
These soaps caught my eye because they looked a bit like cheese. Many stalls are beautifully decorated and offer a diverse and eccentric range of products!
The market is the ideal place to pick up some presents or keepsakes.
Barjac is surrounded by Lavender fields and it is always fun to go and explore the area.
Its another gorgeous day in Cornillon with blue and cloudless skies. We still have some availability for September if you are tempted to come! For those guests already booked we look forward to seeing you!
