Hesdin


Hesdin is a market town in the Pas de Calais region of France. Every Thursday the town comes to life with a large street market.

The market is centred in the square and then spills out into the nearby streets. You can see from the photos below how busy it gets.

If you go to the market get there early as the market takes up most of the parking spaces.
