The Halles des Lices covered market of Vannes, part II !!!

Posted in Bretagne, Food and Wine, France

I was again by my wonderful capital City of Vannes, and of course took some new pictures walking around but the highlight was going in again to the nice Halles des Lices covered market on the Place des Lices, and it was great again !! I used to come a lot often when my dear late wife Martine was around, and needed some time to be back, It had memories forever in this market, one of the best, Of course, this is in my wonderful capital city of Vannes in my beautiful Morbihanbreton dept 56 of my lovely Bretagne and in my belle France!  I took a swing and took more pictures, never enough this is tops worth the visit to the City alone, and it was a blast, Therefore, here is my take again on the Halles des Lices covered market of Vannes, part II !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.

The Halles des Lices or covered market are open every day from 8h30 to 13h30 except on Sundays and Mondays. During the summer season, they are open 7 days a week from 8h30  to 14h and on Friday afternoons from 16h to 19h30. Located on the place des Lices, allows you to fill your basket of good local products (vegetables, fruits, cheeses, meats…), but also offers a few dishes to eat in for lunch in the middle of stalls on a tasting area. Thirty traders welcome you all year.  We came in basically to browse window shopping but as usual we end up buying ! We took our lunch at the Sandwicherie – Rôtisserie – Maison Vénète for great tasty ham goat cheese sandwhiches , mousse au chocolat and granini orange juice for me, Nice light lunch indeed, The usual trio of cheeses, brie, brebis and chévre at the La fromagerie des Halles, and for extra sweets , of course, the prize La pâtisserie Alain Chartier, Always worth it to stop by the Halles des Lices covered market !

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. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. 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.
