Foire de l’Aïl et du Basilic, Tours

Every year on July 26, when Sainte Anne gets celebrated, the city of Tours attracts crowds and local producers with a special fair. It's been around at least since the early 19th century, but the rumor has it it was already popular during the Middle Ages.

"La Foire à l'Aïl et du Basilic" celebrates... garlic and basil.

Join Véro as she strolls around part of Tours' historic district and shares sights and sounds (the smell of basil would have been divine too!) and like always, a slice of French life.

Welcome to Tours. Welcome to the seductive Loire Valley.
Bienvenue en France!

More about the fair: Discover the stash I brought home after shopping at the fair later that day... Warning: Delicious food sightings!
