One of the best ways to experience the local way of life is by visiting one of the many markets in the Monflanquin area.
Markets are an important part of life in southwest France. In the morning, you'll find traditional village markets filled with fresh produce, local cheeses and regional specialties. During the summer months, many villages also host evening markets (marchés gourmands), where food, music and long communal tables create a unique atmosphere.
