Farmer market

A friendly get-together

The Farmer market offers an equally rewarding experience. Every Saturday from June 7 to August 30, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Centennial Park is transformed into a temporary village, where cozy little houses and inviting stalls invite visitors to explore.

Here, citizens, vacationers, and tourists mingle in a relaxed atmosphere, exchanging recipes and anecdotes as they meet. Producers, proud of their products, take the time to share their passion and techniques with interested visitors.

For families, the "Espace ludique" (play area) is a real paradise: sheltered from the elements, it offers a wide range of board games, tables, and chairs suitable for young and old alike, encouraging moments of sharing and conviviality.

Each week, the market offers a different theme, accompanied by entertainment and workshops. These activities, often related to local produce or traditions, add an educational and fun dimension to the visit, making the market a real family outing.
