The Condamine Market

The Condamine market, a Monegasque institution

The Monaco audio-guided tour takes you to the Condamine market, which since its launch on 18 November 1880 thumbs its nose at the local supermarkets. In a convivial, warm and provincial spirit, it puts the essentials of the region's produce back in the spotlight.

More than one hundred and forty years of history

Born in 1880, the Condamine market is one of the oldest gatherings of the Monegasques. Its stalls spread out on the esplanade, under the arcades, and in the covered part renovated in 2012. There you find one hundred percent local produce: bread, charcuterie, fruit, vegetables and cheeses are displayed in an atmosphere full of flavours and colours, far from the anonymity of the supermarkets.

What there is to see

The market is a treat for the senses, between the colours of the stalls, the scents of fresh produce and the bustle of the aisles. The covered hall also houses food counters where you can taste local and Mediterranean specialities on the go. It is a gourmet and authentic stop in the heart of the Condamine district, ideal for tasting the Monegasque art of living.
