It has begun the long awaited night markets, a great favourite with the French, as well as the holidaymakers. Generally from the beginning of July till the end of August each town host's a weekly night market as well as their weekly morning market. The night market is mainly about eating drinking & music a lovely combination any time!
Duras has their evening soirée on Thursdays & they do it well I think. Long wooden tables are set up by the commune to allow the visitors to sit together & enjoy their food. The many stalls sell food, from duck tournedos with foie gras, to burger & chips. The beauty is that you spend as little or as much as you like, depending on your wallet & appetite. The entertainment varies, from folk music, to basque traditional, even the Beetles. The entertain is free all paid for by the commune. They generally kick off about 7.00pm & I do recommend you get there early, they can get very busy. The wine merchants sell bottles at an affordable price, soft drinks & beer is generally on sale too. Bread is on sale as is fresh produce so almost every ones tastes are catered for.
