We went along in the afternoon and immediately realised it was very popular indeed - so popular that parking was well nigh impossible.
After a trek from the outskirts we came to the town centre where there were stalls featuring traditional trades including a blacksmith, a demonstration of glass-blowing and clog making. There were also period games and dressing-up Medieval style for the children. (I'm not clear where the face painting features in Medieval life but it was well supported nevertheless!)
Old rubbed shoulders with new and even the narrowest of streets were full of stalls.....
It seemed everyone had made an effort: even many of the visitors to the Marché had entered into the spirit of things...

That looks like a very fun time. The French do these types of things so much better than the British. I'm jealous!
Hi we were there enjoyed the day, the acting and haunting music really made an impact!!
We stayed on the campsite at Chinon for 3 weeks.
You are certainly living in a great part of the world.
Best wishes
Thank you Orion500 we love it here. It is a dream come true after many years of camping in France.
You are most welcome, delighted it is working out for you.
We have been coming to your area every year since 1995 and we were at at last years Festival.
France seams to have a much more relaxed attitude to life which we think is important.
Enjoy !!
