Saturday market is a high point of the week and is as much a social
event as anything else. It is a bustling, busy market selling mostly local
produce. Fresh fruit and vegetable stalls are alongside the man who makes
boudins blanc and noir. The olive stall is a "must see" where you can
choose from a large range of plain, marinated and dried olives. The local
cheese makers sell everything from the delicious fresh cheeses to aged hard
cheese cut from large wheels. The local wines are red, cheap and very
drinkable. The markets are much frequented by the large local English, Dutch,
German and Scandinavian population that have moved to the CĂ©ret region in the
last ten to fifteen years.
During summer, there is also a market each
Tuesday night. Rather than produce, the night market has an emphasis on arts
and crafts
