EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the quaint French town of Bergues around the 1910s, showcases a moment of innocent joy and community connection in the bustling Marche aux Bestiaux, or Cattle Market. The main square, teeming with activity, serves as the backdrop for this charming scene. Children, dressed in their Sunday best, engage in playful antics, their laughter echoing through the air. The market, a significant economic hub for the town, is a melting pot of people from all walks of life, coming together to buy and sell livestock. The cobblestone streets, lined with quaint houses and shops, add to the picturesque setting. The Marche aux Bestiaux was not only a place of commerce but also a social gathering where people from Bergues and neighboring towns would come to exchange news and stories. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this beautiful French town, capturing the essence of a simpler time.
