Summer necessarily rhymes with markets

We no longer present the traditional to you 4 seasons market which, as its name suggests, is present all year round on Saturdays on the square from 9 a.m. to 13 p.m. With a bonus, the 1st Saturday of the month the singers and musicians of Bidaten Kantuz who come to liven up this moment of conviviality with music. Summer sees the appearance of two new “seasonal” markets.

This brings together local artisan creators and traders who exclusively offer you their collections.
