A LITTLE bit of je ne sais quoi is coming to Lewisham as the High Street is transformed into a real life French mar-ket.

On Sunday, November 18, 30 traders from Le Havre in Normandy will join Lewisham market traders and sell a wide selection of local goods such as cheese, spices and herbs, olives, crepes, soaps and beer.

The essence de France will be completed by all the trad-ers wearing traditional uniform.

This will be the second year in a row that Lewisham street trading has joined with Lewisham shopping centre to organise the event which will take place between 10am and 5pm.

Deputy mayor Councillor Gavin Moore said: "The event is a great chance for residents to sample a taste of France."
