There are markets everywhere in France. All the towns and even some of the small villages around here have one at least one day a week and it`s possible to go to a different one every day. The nearest is the one at Monteneuf (about 2 miles away), then there`s Guer, Ploermel, Malestroit, Josselin, St Malo de Beignon, Maure de Bretagne, Plelan le Grand, La Gacilly, Questembert, redon, La Roche Bernard just to name a few nearby.

Below are a few snaps of what you can expect. The markets concentrate on fresh food that is locally produced, reared or caught. there`s bread, cheese, fish, meat, flowers, fruit and veg. They also sell clothes and kitchen equipment. There always seems to be a hot crepe stand where you just choose your filling and eat it on the hoof.

A definite recommendation is the `roti de porc or poulet` stall. Here you buy whole chicken or a joint of beef perfectly barbequed and red hot. The taste is fantastic. You can also have side orders of steaming hot potatoes and onions. its all served in a special bag for you to take home to eat that night.

At the bottom of the page is a list of some of the market days.
