More than 100 exhibitors will fill the marque in the Morvan village of Quarré-les-Tombes for the annual Craft Fair. The artisans come from all over France, displaying their pottery, cheese, jewellery, stained glass, and even clogs. The vibrantly coloured leather shoes for children by Eric Moussaoui, and for adults by Daniel Debierre immediately caught our eye.

There is a festive air as local musicians strike up, there are craft demonstrations, and a pop concert is held in the evening. So, enjoy the local colour, and keep the country craftsmen going.

For a splurge, visit the restaurant L’Atre, a few kilometres on from Quarré-les-Tombes
