About this audio guide
This guide to the Halles Prosper Montagné in Carcassonne follows the local boy the market hall is named after, a chef who cooked in Paris and Monte Carlo and fed guests at a Paris restaurant of his own in the nineteen-twenties. It touches the army kitchens of the First World War and the great French cookery dictionary of the late nineteen-thirties. Best heard among the butchers' and poulterers' stalls.
