The 4 most beautiful markets in Lot-et-Garonne, combining local produce and traditions

With its 200 stalls spread throughout the heart of the village, the Monsempron-Libos market is one of the largest in the department. Bordered by the Dordogne, Lot, and Tarn-et-Garonne rivers, this area is a veritable crossroads for quality products, with the guarantee of finding everything there. Voted number one in the department several times during the "Your Most Beautiful Market" campaign, it represented Aquitaine in 2019. Even before you see its first stalls, there's one unmistakable sign: the crowds. On Thursday mornings, in the streets adjacent to the market, only two types of people meet: those who go there with enthusiasm and those who return with their arms full. Monsempronlibos.fr

In Casteljaloux, the most beautiful regional market

Place de la République in Casteljaloux is the home of the farmers' market. It also had its say in the election of the regional "Most Beautiful Market." Twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, a few dozen stalls set up on the square and under the town hall. Its fame is due to its local produce. Not only soil, but also sand, because although the Cadets de Gascogne town is in the Lot-et-Garonne region, all around it is the sand of the Landes, where pine trees and... asparagus flourish.

Bon-Encontre, the market for good encounters

On the Place du 11 Novembre, opposite the town hall, every Sunday is market day in Bon-Encontre. In the shade of a canopy of plane trees, around fifty stalls are present. Here again, food makes up the vast majority of these. Here, the spotlight is on local producers who produce what they sell in the immediate vicinity: honey, meat, vegetables, fruits... Then, it's the conviviality of the meeting that wins over the customers. The town takes its name from a legend linked to the Virgin, whose monumental statue sits atop the neighboring hill. A story of a beautiful encounter, like the one you can have at this market.
