Ooh la la! Don’t miss the French market in Stanley

21 May, 2018 by Expat Living 3 Min Read

https://expatliving.hk/french-traditional-market-stanley/

If you’re keen to try some of the finest food and wine this side of the Seine, make sure you head to the French market at Stanley this weekend. Le French GourMay’s popular annual French Traditional Market is back and being held in the grounds of picturesque Murray House.

The Le French GourMay festival promotes French culinary and wine culture in Hong Kong and Macau, and each year a different French region is celebrated; the spotlight is on the Provence-Alpes-Cote D’Azur region for 2018. This region is known for its scenic Mediterranean and Alpine landscapes, idyllic lavender fields; as well as Provençal gastronomy and Rosé wines.

The grounds are set up like a traditional outdoor market, so you can wander a lively marketplace, sample local produce and mingle with friends, while soaking up an atmosphere of art de vivre.

Expect to find authentic French food and wines at the French market

The event will showcase French market delicacies and wines, such as Provence and Rhône Valleys wines, South of France fresh fruits and vegetables, sweets and patisserie, iconic Provençal olives and olive oil, cheeses, pâtés, fresh seafoods, truffles, as well as Marseille Soaps and skincare products.

Make it a family day out – in addition to French market food, Alliance Française will share the fun of learning French with story-telling and games, and there will be face painting for the kids.

Vendors whose wares you can sample at this year’s festival:
