Vietnamese spring rolls – when you need a break from French cuisine….We loves the La Croix du Rat beer made by an Irishman. Beer – wine is everywhere but good quality craft beer is harder to find in France.Rotisserie chicken – my mouth waters just thinking of these.Foi Gras – duck (canard) and goose (oie).Woven baskets – I really wanted the tricycle. Poppies – spring is in the air in Saint-Cyprien And I don’t even like figurinesįoie Gras – some to eat tonight, and some in cans for giftsįruit and Vegetable stands – white asparagus and strawberries are in season in early April The cutest geese figurines – I brought one home.
Paella and Rotisserie chicken…oh the smells! This is a perfect time to experience French country cuisine. Then buy a gourmet picnic meal at the Saint-Cyprien market, to eat later this evening when restaurants are closed. Lunch is a better deal than dinner anyways and allow for some great people watching. Plan your Day: You should keep in mind all stores and many restaurants/bars/cafes in Dordogne are closed after 12:30 pm on Sunday’s (We ran out of diapers for a toddler with a stomach bug on a Sunday afternoon – thank God for our angel innkeeper Sara for saving us with an emergency stash!) So eat a nice big lunch in town. Some vendors have plastic bags, but it’s much better to bring a market bag or picnic basket along. A single stroller is fine and helpful on the busy street. There is an ATM at the bank in the middle of the market, but it has a long line. And here we FINALLY see many other children! (Sometimes in France we felt like total freaks for having procreated more than twice.) The Sunday morning market is vibrant and busy along the narrow main street of the old town.
We love rambling through the small medieval town of Saint-Cyprien in the beautiful Dordogne river valley. A visit to the Saint-Cyprien market with our children is one of the best family activities we have found in Dordogne.
