In the past week the Bastide of Eymet has really come to life. I noticed the market during the past 2 Thursdays has lost it's winter and soggy drag and is full of blooms, fresh produce and streets are packed with visitors. The business owners must finally be breathing a sigh of welcome back!
There are certainly more places to eat and have a coffee and a cake, which makes it so much more appealing to ladies that lunch and family friendly.
It is amusing to see some of the English only speaking French to the English, it must seem awfully impressive and terribly authentic!
Night markets, festivals, music events and entertainment, France certainly knows how to put on a show in its 'villages'.
