Prayssas is a commune in the Lot-et-Garonne department in south-western France. Every Wednesday night from the months of June to September, there is a night market called "les marchées nocturne" where you can find local produce for sale. It is also a great chance to sit down and have some of the local food to eat and of course local wine. There is also a market every Sunday morning all year round. Towards the end of August, there is "La feria des fruits" the fruit festival which consists of celebrating the end of summer and the fruit harvest. The tradition is to wear a red bandana and a white t-shirt or a yellow bandana and a red t-shirt and of course drinking. Prayssas and the surrounding areas has many British people living there, mostly for the great scenery and the most beautiful summers.
