Bar-le-Duc. A market for environmentally friendly consumption.

It's not just hiking that's a must in the Meuse, there's also the organic and plant market , the 20th of its name, which this Saturday attracted many visitors, but also buyers.

Transformed into a market for good and local products, Champion Square has kept all its promises thanks to artisans, local producers, and associations invested in offering quality products but also (and above all) local products with a focus on short supply chains.

This environmental approach was evident on many stalls, such as the Repair Café, or the loyal Joyeux Emmancheurs, who give new life to garden tool handles every year.

Not wasting is also the credo of the urban community, Meuse Nature Environnement and Alteroïdo, who had a joint stand to learn how to make your own household products and master the art of composting.

A little further on, volunteers from the LPO, keen to establish the association in the southern Meuse region, delighted visitors with their homemade nest boxes.

Vegetable plants were plentiful, of course, since they were in season. Hidden among them were plants of a particular kind: perennials. Cabbage, perennial coriander, leek, Japanese artichoke, rocambole onion—all perennial vegetables offered by the very young Terrabella nursery, which also specializes in creating forest gardens to replace lawns with little environmental benefit.

Doing good to yourself while also doing good to the environment also found its expression in the honey that bees give us, the apples with which we make compote, but also in these flowers that are fresh one day and destined to become dry forever.
