Markets

The Loire Valley is a region teeming with markets of all shapes and flavours.  A trip to a local market is a must to sample the fresh produce and taking a leisurely stroll around the stalls selling their delectable foods, delicacies and sweet smelling flowers.

Loches holds a fantastic ‘Moonlight Market’ on the second Thursday of July and August from 5pm until midnight. Items on offer include farm produce, crafts, cakes, honey and cheeses, all accompanied by street entertainment and music to provide an unforgettable atmosphere.
