Programme of events
Place General de Gaulle: Join in a fabulous wine tasting experience and indulge in snacks in the big main square of the town featuring produce from some of the best restaurants and gourmet food shops from the town including the renowned Boulangerie Gremont. Don’t miss a taste of one of their Jean Valjean bread loaves – a nod to Victor Hugo, and utterly delicious.
Cheese shop Caseus will also be present, they have become a tourist destination in their own right thanks to the simply awesome cheeses in store. And restaurants Le Caveau and Clos des Capucins will be on hand to tempt your taste buds.
Place Darnetal: Vegetarian cookery demonstrations alongside local market gardeners supported by the boulangeries, chocolatiers and restaurants that line this pretty square.
In the surrounding cobbled streets, the shops of rue d’Herambault and the rue des Cordonniers will especially open their doors from 10h-18h to visitors - with plenty of stop offs for refreshments.
Place Gambetta: a chance to admire and assembly of vintage cars
Musical entertainment from Gipsy Jazz to Rock and Pop will take place in the atmospheric Rue de Clape en Bas… and there will also be a braderie, a traditional French flea market!
Finally, the town’s restaurants will be open for a long, lazy, scrumptious lunch.
