Fish Market, Marketplace in Vannes, France
The Fish Market is a trading place in Vannes where several vendors display fresh seafood and fish daily, sourced from local boats and regional suppliers. The stalls are organized by species and type of product, making it easy to find what you need for cooking.
The market emerged as Vannes grew into a port town during medieval times, when fishing and seafood trade became central to people's livelihoods. Over the centuries, this spot remained a key meeting point for fishers and buyers from the region.
Fishmongers here practice their craft with precision, filleting and preparing fish in front of customers, and many locals stop by regularly to chat and pick their favorite catches.
Come in the morning or early afternoon when the selection is best and the seafood has just arrived fresh. The market is easy to reach on foot and sits close to other shops and cafés in the old town.
A few vendors also sell seaweed and other specialized products that are hard to find elsewhere, keeping alive a Breton tradition. These extra items give the market its distinct character beyond just fish sales.
