Lessay is a small town located in
the Manche department, in the centre of the Cotentin Peninsula,
Normandy. The 10th century monastery in the town is one of the
greatest examples of Romanesque architecture in Normandy. Lessay
is well known for the Sainte Croix fair, a trade fair established
in the 11th century in order to develop commercial activity in
the village. For three days in the second week of September,
42 acres of Lessay is transformed into a marketplace, attracting
over 400,000 visitors. The fair offers demonstrations of old
and new trades, with thousands of stalls selling a range of products
from household equipment to animals, food, cars and garden and
agricultural tools.[1] |
