A beautiful quaint French village, every structure is consumed by the village atmosphere. The best time to visit this village when there are no events, a few hours of wandering is an event by itself.

Concentration
This is the most important region of France for tourism outside of Paris (which really doesn't represent France). One of the annual tourist attractions is a "mediaeval itinerance" (is that an English word?). This is a mediaeval fair which does the rounds of some of the mediaeval towns and villages for a weekend each. In 2011 the season ended up at Issigeac. The central theme was mediaeval games, putting children at its heart.
Rather than show the architecture of this beautiful village southwest of Bergerac, this set concentrates on people - candid shots of men, women, girls, boys, and even babies.

Ail Rose de Lautrec - France's finest garlic with pink cloves and white skin on the exterior for sale at the market of Issigeac. It is grown in the medieval town of Lautrec in the Tarn region. According to an old tale, a traveller with no money stopped in Lautrec in order to eat, but as he had no money, he paid with pink cloves of garlic instead.

This is just one of the very nice culinary details and about taste in France. It's how they add that special "French color" to food. Most of the French don't sell or buy a bulb but a whole string, the photo might show you why.

Issigeac 1 - arrival and market
Issigeac is an ancient bastide just 15 minutes south of Bergerac, past the airport. The countryside isn't exciting but a cool, leafy car park by a river greets us at the edge of this compact village.
We find that as well as a brocante, there is a weekly Sunday market filling most of the village.
