PEOPLE will be able to get a taste of France when a French market returns to Guisborough this weekend.

The popular 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 until 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.

"This is a potato, cheese and bacon dish cooked in white wine in a big pan. The food is a popular attraction with this market."

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