Each thursday and sunday, at the market place of the town of Quatre-Bornes, takes place "LA FOIRE".
By getting within the tangle of colours, we discover a great mess of textures and cosy corners. 75000 sq ft are busy with it. From inside, finding some piece of the sky is like a challenge.
There, where the previous day, fruits and vegetable sellers displayed their own products, a real ephemeral maze of textiles, trinkets and jewelleries takes place
Pashminas and bracelets are hugely displayed. However, the products that attract more customers are fabrics. They are displayed by big rolls of 6,5ft X 131 ft. The women here have great sewing skills that they use to decorate their home. Surrounding the market, ready-to-eat fruits and ice cream or faratas will be proposed by other sellers.
