PEOPLE will be able to sample a little taste of France when a popular market returns to Guisborough this weekend.

The Marché du France will be in town on Friday and Saturday for its fourth visit.

The market traders all come from the same area in Normandy and work together to recreate a genuine French market, setting up their stalls near the Market Cross in Guisborough from 9am to 5pm.

The visit is being organised by Gisborough Estates and Guisborough Market Town Partnership.

Carol Hudson, from the Guisborough Partnership, said: 'This year, the market has a new look and some new stalls. In addition to cheese, freshly baked bread, cakes, jams, ham, pate, Calvados and hot crepes, the stallholders will be selling handmade bedcovers, leather handbags and a dish from the French Alps called Tartiflette.

And on Saturday, the Speciality Market will also be set up, selling produce directly from local farms, alongside the usual market stalls, which sell a wide variety of products, including fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers, computer supplies and plants.
