Open-air markets Aquitaine

In 1755, the Intendant de Tourny decided to establish a branch of the Grand-Marché on the Place du Parlement. It was named the Royal Market. It was then moved to the Quai des Salinières and finally moved to the Place Saint-Michel in 1960. Today, some 160 traders are spread out on the Place du Bourg and on the Quai des Salinières, offering mainly foodstuffs, but also various items for the home, cosmetics, shoes and clothing. Ideal to buy in quantity, because there are often interesting offers.

This market is first and foremost a place of life: go there to soak up its cheerful atmosphere. You'll find a wide range of foodstuffs and clothing if you want to do some shopping. Built in the 60s, first to house workers from the Lacq site, then to accommodate people from the various migrations that France has experienced, the Hameau district has seen its image evolve over time. Thanks to numerous redevelopment projects, a symbolic link has now been forged with the rest of the town. Many locals don't want to miss this Sunday morning rendezvous. It's a place to indulge at affordable prices.

In the open air, on a renovated cobbled esplanade, this market brings the Saragosse district to life every Thursday. Fruit and vegetable sellers, oriental pastries, fishmongers, roasters, fabric and clothing vendors, even a coffee barber... The choice is vast, and there's no shortage of bargains! A loyal clientele flocks here, appreciating the wealth of stalls offered by the thirty or so merchants. Thanks to major works currently underway, the Saragosse district, whose grey towers were previously not very appealing, is now on the way to becoming a dynamic, leafy eco-neighborhood where life is good... and where you can do your shopping!

With the Halles now open on Sunday mornings, the Gramont market might have feared it would disappear. But it hasn't! This small market with its dozen or so traders has managed to retain its clientele. Its location on a beautiful square with ponds and tree-lined alleys is a real asset. You'll be able to feast on organic vegetables and bread, fresh oysters from the Ile d'Oléron or crisp, hot Asian dishes. Under the arcades, antique books and vinyl will also feed the collector's spirit! And why not enjoy the terrace of the Bar des Pyramides while waiting for the spit-roasted chicken to be cooked to perfection?
