Markets Calvados

On Wednesday morning, rue Saint-Jean is the "small market". The city's great traditional market takes place on Saturday morning, St. Patrick's Square. There are the Cochon pig fans and local specialities: fruits and vegetables, eggs, cider, calvas, jams… But also lovers of beautiful plants and flowers to repiquer, lovers of lace, patchwork and fanfreluches of all kinds and children, coming caresser a dwarf rabbit, pressed or biquette…

Unmissable! The place of the delights of the sea that the Ouistrehamais like to share with their friends. The obligatory point of passage for the best of the night fishing: sole, turbot, brill, mackerel, whiting, rays, cuttlefish and other sea bass, crustaceans (eels, edible crab, scallops, whelks, crab, cockles, prawns, lobsters...), grey shrimps... compete for freshness. Between October and May, the scallop takes the lion's share of the landings. A small alley and about ten large signs for this authentic market.

In Caen, there is no lack of markets, follow the guide! On Tuesdays, go to rue de Bayeux and Grâce de Dieu, place du Commerce. On Wednesday, boulevard Leroy (we have a soft spot for this old-fashioned taste), rue de la Défense-Passive, or avenue Charlemagne. Thursday, La Guérinière and Chemin Vert. Friday, towards Place Saint-Sauveur, Rue Pémagnie, and Fossés-Saint-Julien. Saturday, Dr-Henri-Buot and Champlain squares. Sunday, place Courtonne and especially quai Vendeuvre, it is the huge market of Caen. It's your choice!

At the same time as the weekly market and under the halles. Farmers and artisans offer regional produce or vegetables.
