'OH LA LA!' cried delighted visitors to Staines town centre last week when they discovered a real French Market in town.
The traders were invited to cross the Channel and set up shop on Thursday, November 29, as part of an initiative by the Staines Partnership, a group made up of local retailers, traders and council officers.
Shoppers were able to stock up on a variety of Christmas treats such as delicious French conserves and sweet treats, as well as bottles of French wine.
Peter Miles, manager of the Elmsleigh Centre, South Street, Staines, said it was a great success which boosted business for everyone.
He said: "It was great for the town centre to be so busy and alive with shoppers eager to take advantage of the French goodies available."
