Hi everyone, hope someone can help Is there anywhere near Saintes/Royan that sells second hand French books that will do for a holiday read please???? I have loads of English books that I have had over the yrs, but so far, cannot fine any cheap French books, (they are for guests to read is they want to!) If anyone has any helpful suggestions, they will be greatly received Many thanks in advance

The only local market I have seen that sells books is the monthly Foire in Saintes (first Monday of the month).
Most small, weekly markets tend to sell fruit, veg, fish, meat and honey etc.
The bigger markets (Foires) are held once a month (on different days in different towns)and will have a wider variety of goods on offer i.e. big knickers, socks, shoes, jewellery, CDs books, hardware, live hens and ducks and all sorts of food of course.
Summer time will see more on offer in the markets and there will be plenty to attract the tourists.
If you're still looking, there are lots of second-hand French books at the new "Troc" on the way to Saintes just before before the big roundabout.
