The Tuesday market in Plougasnou
This is the event of the week, five minutes from the Domaine. On Tuesday mornings, the stalls set up on the church square in the heart of the village: market gardeners, fishmonger, cheesemonger, baker, plus flowers and everyday items. Ideal for filling your basket for the stay at the start of the week.
The summer evening market in Primel
From mid-July to mid-August, a night market sets up on Friday evenings in Primel-Trégastel, with producers, craftspeople and food to eat on the spot. A family outing that holidaymakers love.
The big Saturday market in Morlaix
On Saturday mornings, Morlaix’s historic centre comes alive around its big market, a quarter of an hour from the Domaine. You will find a wide choice of local producers: fruit and vegetables, fish and shellfish from the bay, cheeses, breads, charcuterie, honey and flowers, as well as a non-food section.
Take the opportunity to stroll at the foot of the viaduct and through the streets of half-timbered houses. Parking is easier in the car parks slightly outside the centre, which is then easy to explore on foot.
