The market at the heart of the resort
In the centre of La Baule, the Covered Halles are the reference market of the resort. Under contemporary architecture with a wavy roof, traders and producers offer fish and seafood, fresh produce, cheese, charcuterie and local products from the Guérande peninsula.
On market days, the stalls overflow outdoors around the halles and enliven the nearby streets. It’s the perfect place to do your shopping for your stay and feel the local atmosphere, among regulars and holidaymakers.
Under the halles
Inside, the large hall with a wavy wooden ceiling houses the permanent stalls: fishmongers, greengrocers, cheesemongers, creamery and regional specialities. A pleasant covered market to explore, even when the weather isn’t cooperating.
Opening days and hours vary according to the season and are more extensive during the summer period. To prepare for your visit, it is best to check the updated calendar with the tourist office.
