Gourmet products local specialties and wines Valognes

It is one of the most important markets in the Cotentin region. Every Friday, the one in Valognes literally transforms the town, changing the traffic and life for a morning, allowing thousands of people to come and trade with the 150 sellers - a figure that is higher in summer. From poultry to carpet merchants (literally!), from fish to fruit and vegetables and cheese, there is no shortage of anything! Beware of parking, difficult when the market is in full swing, in the middle of the morning: you have been warned.

The abbey of Valognes is a liturgical place, a notable architectural ensemble, but not only. Indeed, the Benedictine sisters also have a place where they make products that are worth being known: delicious fruit pastes. You should know that their recipe is well-guarded! Guaranteed without colouring, without preservatives, with natural fruit flavours, you will have the choice between ten traditional flavours, with or without chocolate coating, they are just perfect! Many other products are also available for sale in the shop.
