Market in Porte de DrômArdèche
WalkhaiterivesBuy local and seasonal produce. The prices will be more reasonable and you will be eating healthy produce.
Hauterives WalkIf you’re not sure what to look for at the market, wander the aisles before you buy. You’ll see the different stalls and be able to compare prices from booth to booth. After scouting, start your market with heavy and less fragile purchases (examples: fish, yogurt…) and then fruits and vegetables, always in that order of weight and fragility.
The basket is the best solution to transport your fresh products. With a plastic bag, fresh products tend to spoil faster, baskets made of woven rush or rattan are easy to store so it may seem a good compromise. In addition, it is an ecological gesture to refuse bags…. A basket or cloth bags are reusable and so chic!
