Jo Roberts, Ian Humphries and Harry Khwaja explore a riverside market in Sommieres. While there they come across a sculptor’s stall, a brass and glass lamp and a case brimming with lace collars, all offered for sale among the bustling stalls.

The programme follows Jo Roberts, Ian Humphries and Harry Khwaja as they travel to a riverside market in Sommieres. The episode opens with the three presenters, who've arrived at the water’s edge, giving viewers a clear sense of the setting and the lively atmosphere that surrounds the market stalls. While moving through the market, the trio comes across several items of interest. They stop at a sculptor's stand where the sculptor displays his pieces, then they notice a brass and glass lamp that catches the eye. Close by, a case filled with lace collars is laid out for sale, adding another point of curiosity to their visit. The presenters take a closer look at the sculptor's work, commenting on the shapes and details they observe. Their discussion highlights how the pieces sit among the other market offerings, and they consider the appeal of seeing handmade sculpture displayed in such a public setting. Next, they examine the brass and glass lamp, noting how the light reflects off the metal and the transparency of the glass. They then turn to the case of lace collars, observing the items on display. The segment ends with the three reflecting on the variety they've seen.
