MONTOIRE MARKET


Market day in the small town of Montoire-sur-le Loir and the cheese monger's refrigerated van attracts customers.

Les montoiriens seem, understandably, to downplay the part their town played in history on 24 October 1940, when Marechal Petain met Hitler on the platform of the town's railway station to negotiate the conditions of France's capitulation in the Second World War.
