This is one of the city's oldest markets, also known as the Marché Saint-Antoine, which housed market gardeners in a wooden hall that was destroyed by fire in 1871. The new metal halls date from 1874. The atmosphere is colorful and fragrant with the fruits and spices on display. You'll also find punches, basketry and love potions... Some of the merchants still wear the traditional headdress. It is advisable to ask permission before taking a photo.

MARCHÉ DE BERGEVIN

Openair market
3/5
1 review

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.
