    The Musee d'Arc sells a variety of large tapestries, and smaller items made from tapestry material. They tend to depict medieval scenes or are in traditional French colours.

    The entry to the museum is E$5,00. Am not sure whether they will let you in to the tapestry room without charging you.

    Knifes, swords, boards and other attributes of the medieval weapon are on sale in each small shop.
    Not to have problems at passage of border and customs I preferred not to buy anything of these things.

    All kinds of souvenirs can be bought in the city. Original clothes in wool, some art,... whatever you like.
    This is a souvenir-machine :) For 10 FF (1,5 euro) you can buy a commemorative coin...

    Unknown: Lace Is Very Portable

    This shop deals only in hand made lace and will even take made-to-order items or link names (letters).

    Lace is as portable a souvenir as a tourist can carry. Unfortunately local made lace is quite expensive. As you can see the prices (non-negotiable) were above 20 euro, 15 years ago. The imported lace from Asia (Vietnam) was half that or less. The places of origin are on the pieces. All are hand made. They do not warn you about the sources, just look or ask. I assume the prices are higher now.

    Look at the labels as to the place of origin; local lace above $20, Asian half that.
