Marché de Talensac, Historic covered market hall in central Nantes, France.
The market features 157 merchants organized in color-coded sections, with green for producers, yellow for fruit vendors, and blue for artisans.
Established on January 8, 1937, Marché de Talensac has evolved into the largest indoor market in Nantes, serving generations of local residents.
The marketplace represents the intersection of Brittany and Loire Valley traditions, with vendors offering regional specialties from both distinctive French territories.
The market welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM, with extended hours until 1:30 PM on weekends.
Ten artistic portraits displayed throughout the market capture the character of vendors through signs and marquees that complement the market atmosphere.

Nantes features diverse settings for photography, from gardens to historical monuments. Passage Pommeraye, a 19th-century shopping gallery, displays carved staircases and glass roofs across three levels. Île de Versailles offers a Japanese garden with stone lanterns and bamboo groves, while the Jardin des Plantes houses over 10,000 plant species in its greenhouses and pathways. Château des Ducs de Bretagne showcases Renaissance towers, and Cours Cambronne lines neoclassical facades around a tree-lined square. Converted former industrial sites create unique photographic spaces. The Hangar à Bananes, a former warehouse on the Loire quays, now hosts restaurants and galleries. Les Machines de l'Île set their mechanical creations in the naval shipyard’s Nefs. Le Lieu Unique occupies the LU factory with its distinctive tower, and Jardin des Fonderies preserves metal structures from its industrial past. In Trentemoult, a fishing village with houses painted red, yellow, and blue, narrow alleys run along the Loire.
Nantes combines mechanical monuments, botanical gardens, a medieval castle and museums. The historical quarters, old squares and notable architecture reflect its maritime and commercial past. The city features parks, walks along the Loire and cultural institutions like the Art Museum and Natural History Museum. The Machines de l'île presents mechanical animals, including a 12-meter-tall elephant.
