“In Normandy, there are almost as many towns and villages as there are markets, each with its own atmosphere, specialities, days and times. To help you find your way around and make the most of your stay, we've put together a non-exhaustive list of the markets around our gîtes. These are great opportunities to discover the region's typical towns and villages.”
Markets in Honfleur
In Honfleur, the markets are an integral part of local life, offering a great opportunity to discover the flavours and atmosphere of the harbour. From local produce to fresh seafood and colourful stalls, strolling through Honfleur's markets is a real pleasure, both for filling your shopping basket and for enjoying the town's friendly atmosphere.
Honfleur has several markets during the week: the traditional market and the small flower market on Saturday mornings, one of the few exclusively organic markets in the region on Wednesday mornings, the fish market on Thursday mornings, as well as a night market during the summer season, ideal for extending the evening stroll.
