Weiden farmers’ market

At the farmers’ market in Weiden, you’d be forgiven for thinking you are in France. Surrounded by tall old trees and mansion-like houses, time stands still. Unlike on many other market squares, it’s very quiet here with little traffic. The stalls sell everything you would expect to see at a farmers’ market – right now, asparagus is in season – but a real eye-catcher is Mr Franken and his distinctive handlebar moustache, who turns up every Wednesday to sell potatoes.
