Vieux Marché de La Rochelle

Great Place to buy local produced Fresh Vegetables, Raw meat, cheese, fresh Oysters, seafood, cooked food, ham & some ready to eat food too All items sold in very clean environment On Wednesday there are open market around here and more artisan breads, cakes, pastries as well as dried fruits are sold here

As usual with France, this is a fabulous market which is used pretty much continually; I was in town over the weekend and stalls inside and out were open both days selling some amazing food; the bakery stalls outside were both top drawer, and the cheese range inside was similarly great (tomme with 7 flowers was one of the best cheeses I've ever had). It really shows up the UK when this is how food is bought, at a local market not (big generalisation) at a supermarket; I didn't see a decent size supermaket in the centre so guessing there are huge ones on the outskirts, but still.. this market sold amazing food and was rammed with people, main;y locals, every time I visited. It's in a nice part of the town too, with many old buildings lining the square the market is on, and lots of cafes too! If you're in town get yourself here and indulge in some amazing local food, and see what we're missing!

Wonderful food market in a beautiful and historic setting. Stalls inside the market hall as well as out on the streets, mainly with food on the agenda.

A wonderful covered market with all types of fresh food, especially fish and seafood. It is a pleasure to wander around. Wheelchair accessible from the front. On the Wednesday we visited there were also a lot of fresh vegetable and fruit stalls in the square and road in front. It's worth looking round first before buying as we noticed that prices differed significantly for similar produce. Well worth a visit!

There is so much excellent fresh produce here. Just walking through and looking at all the food is enjoyable. Love this market.

Even though they open at 6.30am, it is better to come around 9am when most are opened. Buy the oysters and prawns from the outside

One of my favourite places in La Rochelle. A hive of activity every day of the week but especially on big market days of wednesday and Saturday.

Beautiful market with excellent French produce
