Open-air markets Guadeloupe

The evening fruit and vegetable market next to the municipal stadium is a real local event. Fruit and vegetable growers come directly to offer their produce at attractive prices. You can also enjoy a selection of dishes and desserts to take away. The commune is home to a large number of regular visitors to its many gites and vacation homes, the majority of whom are retirees, and it's not uncommon to meet both residents and tourists in a very pleasant atmosphere.

This market is not the most popular with tourists, but it is one of the largest in Pointe-à-Pitre. It's popular with locals for the food on offer, as prices are very attractive indeed: small producers come to present the fruits of their daily labours. The stalls are numerous and varied, with fruits, spices, local vegetables and freshly caught fish. It's an excellent opportunity to eat locally without breaking the bank, while promoting local production.

This local market is installed on the small square in front of the tower of Father Labat. It is organized by an association, the ADARSUB (Association for the agricultural and rural development of South Basse-Terre), which gathers farmers of the territory. Local producers come to sell their agricultural production directly to individuals. The stalls are full of fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, local meats, flowers, coconut water, but also processed products (black pudding, punch, cocoa, sweet and savoury cassava)...

Every Saturday, Victor and Netty organize a market and open the doors of their farm, which also houses a cattle ranch, on request. It's an opportunity to learn how to eat healthily during your stay, with fresh, seasonal produce from healthy, responsibly grown agriculture. A good place to discover quality local fruit and vegetables (madeira, malanga, sugar cane, yams, sweet potatoes, papayas, giraumons, avocados, cucumbers...). The farm also offers overnight camping.
