A real popular atmosphere reigns in the alleys of the town on the hill Saint-Jacques, which will transform your shopping into a real convivial moment.
You can also find the Friday morning markets at the Place des Fêtes and the evening markets every Thursday from 5pm to 7pm at the Place du Clos where local producers come to present their products in the late afternoon. These stalls are less frequented but just as enjoyable.
