Halle des Lices, Covered market hall in central Vannes, France.
Halle des Lices is a covered market hall in central Vannes where over thirty permanent vendors sell fresh produce, meat, fish, and regional foods in a clearly organized indoor space. Each stand occupies its own spot, making it straightforward to navigate and find what you are looking for.
This market hall was established as a central trading place in medieval Vannes and has served local merchants for generations. It continues to shape the commercial life of the old city and remains a gathering point for everyday shopping.
The market embodies how Breton food culture stays alive in the city center through the daily work of merchants who know their suppliers personally. These vendors are keepers of local eating habits that connect people to the region's farms and fisheries.
The covered hall is open Tuesday through Sunday starting at eight in the morning and closes in the early afternoon around two o'clock. Being inside and wheelchair-accessible, it offers a comfortable shopping experience regardless of weather conditions.
On market days outside the regular hours, about ten small local producers bring their goods to join the permanent vendors. This transforms the hall into a livelier setting with a wider range of products than what you find during standard shopping times.
