Touques is a small town on the Touques River in the Calvados department of Normandy, and this view centers on its market, the kind of open square where farmers and townspeople traded grain, produce, livestock and cider. The title points to the fifteenth century, when Norman towns like this one depended on weekly markets to link surrounding farmland with local buyers and river commerce. Markets of this period were busy, crowded and social, so the scene offers a useful glimpse of daily rural life in medieval Normandy. Look closely at the figures and their goods to see how trade was carried out.
