Typical markets
The Ouistreham fish market
Discover the special atmosphere of the Ouistreham fish market. Every morning, fishermen and fishmongers are present in the market hall to offer you the fresh catch of the night: mackerel, sea bass, sole but also shrimps, mussels, cockles and clams! Enough to prepare a good meal directly from the sea and 100% local!
The Saint Sauveur market in Caen
With your wicker basket under your arm, stroll through the typical Saint-Sauveur market in Caen. It is on the oldest square in the city that this unmissable market takes place every Friday morning. In addition to fresh and local products, bargain hunters can find what they are looking for on the second-hand stands. Don’t leave without passing by the cheese makers who will help you discover the famous Norman cheeses: Camembert, Pont-L’Evêque, Livarot and Neufchâtel!
The unmissable Sunday market
The most important market in the area is the Sunday morning market held on the port of Caen. Along the quay of the bassin Saint-Pierre, you will find merchants of local products, craftsmen but also seasonal clothes and other trinkets.
