Colors and flavours

Like any self-respecting food market, Saint-Louis is adorned with colours colors, smells and flavors that change with the seasons..

We appreciate this cycle of nature, to find the products forgotten for a few months:

plunge your hand generously into the tub of cherries, carefully choose the first melon of the summer, load your basket with a heavy, fleshy pumpkin...

Practice

The market covers the rue de Lyon, the Halles Saint Louis and the church parking lot. For added convenience, take the streetcar to get there!

Discover Breton specialities at the market

Our advice: come early enough to be sure of getting a slice of Kig Ha Farz This Breton pot-au-feu, typical of North Finistère, is often a victim of its own success!

You can't leave the Marché Saint-Louis without stopping by the stand of Jean-Marie Salaün and his seafood products. His speciality: the crustaceans are hand-caught by scuba diving, with no impact on other species. Smoked trout, scallops, octopus... the choice is vast, and sometimes difficult!

We recommend you add some trout accras to your basket: we've tasted them for you, and they're delicious!

Have a drink on the terrace before leaving the market

With your basket full, why not sit down on a terrace and enjoy an espresso or, depending on the time of day, an aperitif?
