DURHAM is preparing for the arrival of a French market team this weekend.
The March de France, from Normandy, will bring 24 stalls to the city from Friday to Sunday.
They will set up in the Market Place on the Friday and the Sunday and outside The Gala Theatre, in Millennium Place, on the Saturday.
A spokeswoman for the team said: "There will be a magnificent cheese lorry with a truly enormous selection of French cheeses from Normandy and many other regions of France. "Also the charcuterie with wonderful sausages and salamis.
" Of course, the bread stall, with its wonderful varieties of bread baked on site will also be part of the market."
As well as farm-made jams and home-made apple and calvados fondant cakes, crepes and sweets, there will be soap from Marseille, lavender, handbags, wallets, wooden toys, chic French sweaters and many household items.
The market will run from 9am to 5pm each day (4.30pm Sunday) and there will be a draw for a hamper.
