Marigot Market

Marigot Market is a waterfront marketplace with around one hundred stalls selling fresh fish, tropical fruits, vegetables, spices, and meats. The stalls are organized around a central bandstand where local crafts and regional products are also displayed.

The marketplace was established to supply fresh food for the growing city of Marigot. A stone monument by sculptor Martin Lynn commemorates the female merchants who have shaped this market across generations.

This marketplace serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors encounter the island's food traditions and daily rhythms. Vendors share knowledge about local ingredients and cooking methods, making the market a living extension of Saint-Martin's culinary culture.

The market operates Monday through Saturday, with early morning being the best time to find fresh items. Visitors should expect narrow aisles and lively activity, so comfortable footwear and a relaxed pace are helpful.

Some market women prepare rhum arrangé, a traditional drink made by infusing rum with local fruits and spices. This homemade specialty cannot be found elsewhere and shows how locals transform simple ingredients into distinctive beverages.
