Medieval Fair, France |

| Fairs were very important to the economies of towns and cities in the Middle Ages. Traders and merchants would come from far away to meet other traders and to sell their wares. Fairs were also very lively and featured music, dancing, and other forms of entertainment. Shown here, people buy cloth and other items at a busy fair in France in the 13th century. | ||||||
