Central Market

Can you hear the chatter, haggling, and laughter of the town's traders and residents? Enter the covered market in front of you and you'll find a friendly atmosphere in the aisles of La Rochelle's Old Market. There's something to suit all tastes including galettes charentaises, crépinettes, seafood, fleur de sel from Ré island... La Rochelle's culinary specialties are legion! Stalls abound on Wednesdays and Saturdays, taking over the streets of the old centre for even more Charente flavours around the town's landmark building, constructed with Charente stone in 1834. So, what are you going to taste today?
