Open-air markets Charente-Maritime

The market is located in the heart of the town, right next to a parking lot where you can park easily and free of charge. Armed with your shopping bag, you'll meet the traders who set up shop under the halles all year round. In summer, they're there every day! On Sundays, it's time for the big market, with food, clothes, jewelry... The market is a meeting place, where everyone can find fresh fish, fruit, vegetables, meats... as well as enjoy a chat on the terrace of a café.

Locals and tourists alike gather under the covered market to stock up on fresh produce. This other market, open in summer, is just as pleasant. It's located in a neighborhood that has kept its traditions alive: Les Boucholeurs. It's in the heart of this authentic village that this ephemeral market takes shape every Sunday morning. The atmosphere is resolutely pleasant, ideal for meeting local producers. Take this opportunity to fill your shopping bag!

This market is held every day in season. Located under the covered market, it attracts both locals and tourists looking to stock up on fresh produce. It has the advantage of being close to a large parking lot, a playground and an ocean walk offering magnificent views. It's a great place to stroll along the pedestrian street and meet friendly shopkeepers offering quality products: oysters, fish, cheese, fruit and vegetables... Everything you need for a great day out!

The market is held on the place of the mayor every Wednesday from to. Sunday, also from 9 am to 13 pm. Many small local producers. The products are quality and cheap.

What a pleasure to visit this lively market! As you stroll along the pedestrian street, take a break in the carefully renovated 150-year-old fish market. The original fish market is still very much alive today, as not only can you buy locally caught fish, but you can also sample oysters. To come here is to be sure of a convivial moment with smiling producers and colorful stalls.

If the seaside resort does not lack activities to occupy the whole family during the day, it also offers during the summer season a night market. After an afternoon at the beach, there is no question of going home! We take the time to stroll along the boulevard to make the vacations last a little longer! Every Sunday, during the two months of summer, the merchants come to install their stands. After the beach and before going to the funfair, we come to stroll for a moment to discover artisanal products.

To be sure of finding a quality cheese, don't hesitate to head for Xavier Ropert's truck. This enthusiast will guide you in your choice and help you select the cheese you like best. You'll find him at various markets in La Rochelle: La Pallice on Sunday mornings, Port Neuf on Thursdays and at his L'Houmeau premises on Friday mornings. The welcome is warm, and the selection varied, with, among other things, speciality cheeses made with truffles (homemade). Xavier and his wife focus above all on quality, and also offer platters.
