The market of Quiberon !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Europe, Food and Wine

Going down on the peninsula of Quiberon and all the way to the tip at the town of Quiberon is a delight for us, so many times there, our favorite spot in the area, and we love it. This is of course a peninsula with beaches on both sides and marinas. However, the best for ambiance, sights and be seen and great produce are the markets. Thése are new pictures from our latest visit this week. Therefore, here is my take on the market of Quiberon !!! Hope you enjoy it as I.

We come often and early for the market and at any time afterward ! Even like this time by 12h30 The market day in Quiberon is huge in Summers with visitors abound, then it reduces to just a trickle of locals in the coming winter months. Very seasonal but nice in high season Summer months. Anyway low or high season we come here for the ambiance and have a pint leisurely with locals and the merchants we know.

Every Saturday morning from 8h to 13h on a large area that starts in the Place du Varquez parking and spills over the Place Hoche just before the Grande Plage or big beach! The big one and nicest is at the Varquez/Hoche. Offering local products by local producers or sedentary traders from the Morbihan. You will find gastronomic and artisanal products there of very good quality and prices.

Every day in the morning, fishermen from Quiberon offer their fish and seafood products on Place du Varquez, near the Grande Plage main entrance off Place Hoche, Quiberon. You can’t get any fresher than this! As for the market, it takes place every Saturday morning in this same square and offers seasonal products, regional and artisanal specialties. Hours Saturdays from 8h to 13h right on the parking of Place du Varquez. Anyway low or high season we come here for the ambiance and have a pint leisurely with locals and the merchants we know. It’s a escape from the house too! Below is my Dad Elio  (black jacket) wandering about lol!

There are a couple other nice markets but we prefer the one at Place du Varquez, around Place Hoche, and the Grande Plage. As above. For info these are the other two in Quiberon. Port Haliguen on Wednesdays from 8h to 13h and only from June 17 to September 16. And Boulevard Chanard , facing the sea by the Grande Plage every evening from 20h and only from July 4 to August 30.

Again, hope you enjoy this post on the market of Quiberon !!! as I.

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world. My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years.

It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting. Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers All rights reserved.
