There are so may markets, music recitals, sporting events, and fairs organized throughout the region during the summer that you could exhaust yourself trying to sample them. Last year our favorite was the marche du producteurs which occurs on Thursday evenings in Ste. Foy through the end of August. The town sets up tables and chairs in a square along the Dordogne River. Then small producers come in with their carts and sell/prepare regional specialities. Local foods are showcased so that you can make a dinner of duck, eel, a locally grown assiette de crudites, bread, wine, cheese, and desserts buy visiting the different vendors and buying a sample. Some vendors be here only once but some be here for the whole month. Different bands perform each week and play late into the night. This week the evening was perfect, cooling down after a heat wave we had been experiencing. The marche was not too well attended, but I suspect that as the weeks pass more people will discover it and attend.
