The French Traditional Market

The Market will be in Kildare Town on the 20th, 21st & 22nd June. The French Traditional market experience came to Ireland last year. From then on the team has been to Dublin, Dundalk, Donegal, Kilkenny, Waterford, Tralee, Portlaoise and many other towns and is getting better and better! french_market_2005a.jpg The event is organised by the French traditional Market, the forerunners of the French markets in Ireland, with its team of up to 30 traders who come from various parts of France, Britany, Provence, Vendee, Picardy, les Vosages... The French traditional Markets team would be delighted to bring a little of France's atmosphere and finest food to your town and make sure local shoppers will love the event...
