The colour and movement of the markets at L'Isle sur la Sorgue has to be seen to be believed. It is a foodie's paradise. The French artisans take the presentation and quality of produce very seriously. Their displays are yet another example of the culture of beauty and appreciation of art, that pervades the whole of French society.
