Fontenay de Comte FrancePlaces to visit in Fontenay de Comte
The main street in Fontenay Where they hold the weekly market
Fontenay is a very old market town in the vendee region of France. Every saturday they hold a street market you can see it in the above picture. It goes all the way down the hill to the river vendee and some of the side street as well. The market sells a wide range of goods we bought a handmade basket at a very reasonable price. We stocked up on fresh vegetables,chicken and cheese all at lower prices than UK. All this and free parking the car park we used is at the top of the hill see photo. If you want more shopping take the first right turn at the top of hill. There is a very large hypermarket, garden centre and the usual supermarket stores plus cheap petrol and diesel. The prices here are much cheaper than the channel ports less tourist.
