Located at the foot of the medieval bastille, the Villeneuve-sur-Lot market proudly defends the Aquitaine region in the Your Most Beautiful Market competition.
Finalist this year, there is no shortage of arguments for you to vote for him.
We could have told you that Villeneuve-sur-Lot (Lot-et-Garonne) was the most beautiful market thanks to its location, a 13th century medieval bastille. But the real reason lies elsewhere: the warm welcome of the inhabitants of the South-West. And here is one last unstoppable argument: an exceptional municipal market.
Our favorite: it’s Maurice, the oldest of the market. He knew the time when merchants arrived on horseback on horseback. At 89 years old, he has never missed a deal. And since he still has enough energy, he is the one who grows all the fruits and vegetables in his stall.
With its strawberries, tomatoes and kiwis, the department is known as the orchard of France. But in Villeneuve, the star is the prune. And above all, don’t say that it’s an Agen prune. “Agen was the port through which prunes arrived, but the production is here, in the Lot valley”, proudly underlines a saleswoman. Delicious in its simplest form, the recipes are diversified to attract new customers.
