MARCHÉ DES LICES AT RENNES, AN INSTITUTION
The second largest market in France, the Marché des Lices takes place every Saturday morning at the heart of Rennes, the capital of Brittany.
It is hard not sing the praises of this market in Rennes which combines tastes and aromas from both land and sea in a friendly, convivial atmosphere.
Brimful of good food, the Marché des Lices is also a meeting place where babies in pushchairs mingle with Friday-night party-goers. The venue itself is also well worth a look as the market is held in the famous Place des Lices inside two historic market halls and on the square outside, surrounded by half-timbered buildings.
And why not sit down at a pavement cafe to sample what you’ve bought and don’t forget to try a famous ‘galette-saucisse’ (a sort of sausage wrap) with or without cheese !
