SHOPPERS can experience a slice of life across the Channel without having to board a ferry.

The Dartford French Market is returning to the town centre this year, after being hailed as a success last summer.

Visitors will be able to sample a wide range of foods, including croissants, breads and cheeses.

Stalls will also be offering everything from wine, cider and calvados to jars of honey, pancakes and home-made biscuits.

The market will return to the High Street between 9am and 5pm on June 17.
