To this day, the weekly market of Louhans remains one of the largest markets in France. It brings together more than 200 street vendors. On Mondays, especially Easter and Whitsun, when the market is held all day, more than 15,000 visitors attend.
It is the agricultural market (place de La Charité) that has allowed this Monday morning event to keep its particular character and to attract more and more people: professional poulterers, cages and small private breeders (ducks, pigeons, rabbits, ornamental birds and pets) are all present.
The booths selling ready-to-eat Bresse poultry are located in the “
” a covered market established in 2006.
In other parts of the city, you’ll find butchers, deli owners, cheesemongers, beekeepers, and vegetable farmers, as well as shops selling ready-to-wear clothing, shoes, leather goods, hats, and hardware…
As you can see, there’s everything you could possibly need!
