Born of the will of a handle of local producers, the association The Peasant House, of the same name as the store, worked for long months on this project. The difficulty in finding the ideal premises and administrative delays pushed away his putting on the way but this deadline allowed to refine choices and to polish up the result to return him in compliance with our expectations. The producers who form the hard core of our association represent 6 exploitations. They share not only same love of their job, but also the same values as they wished to find through the shop ... and to share you: Quality products, local, season, healthy, stemming from human-sized exploitations ... Products in direct selling, to propose them in the best

I knew this market as being a market catering for not only fruit and vegetables but fish, meat and poultry. It has delicatessen stalls not just charcuterie but a wide choice of cheeses. It also sells knick knacks, clothing and footwear, all in the centre of the village free from cars (as they are barred on this day, though plenty of carparking spaces) so you can wander safely or sit outside of a cafe and enjoy something to eat or drink while watching the world go by. As I said knowing this I took my son and his wife and my little grandson and they were not disappointed. They enjoyed the experience tremendously.

The Sunday market at Issigeac is probably the best market in this area of the Dordogne. The market is spread out over most of the streets and small squares occupying the centre of the town. There is a wide selection of market stalls selling fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, clothing, pottery, fancy goods as well as selling hot food dishes such as rotisserie chicken, paella, Chinese dishes and needless to say local wines. There are a number of coffee bars, tea shops and restaurants on the centre of town that are open on a Sunday morning/ Sunday lunch. The town centre is particularly interesting and attractive with all its narrow streets and medieval buildings. The market is very busy during the peak summer months.

On Thursday evenings food, wine and entertainment take place in the town square (which also hosts a Sunday morning market). Various food stalls (inc seafood, paella and burgers) are brought in from which you can buy a meal to eat in the square where tables and chairs are set out. Whe we visited a band playing which added to the atmosphere and made for a fun evening.

A true village market. Whatever you need is on sale; clothing, meats, cheese, cd’s, vegetable, foie gras, wine, truffles, Vin de noix, hardware..... etc! And the stall holders are great fun. Don’t be afraid to ask for samples of the food products. Same for vegetables. For clothing, fabrics, etc, try to bargain in good spirit too. Generally they will stay close to list price, but if you buy two of anything, you should get a discount. Don’t insult folk though by haggling on small change items or true craft pieces. The market is huge, taking up most of a very long street, lots of shoppers too, so allow plenty of time, and go with the flow. Plenty of opportunities to stop for a coffee or snack though. And the town itself is beautifully decorated with banners and flowers. A must-go market, even for people who don’t like markets!
