    Place Garibaldi antique market

    A once-monthly chance to grab a bargain

    Place Garibaldi antique market
    • Alışveriş tutkunları

    The Place Garibaldi antique market welcomes locals and visitors alike once a month. This beautiful, tree-lined square is surrounded by cafés, restaurants and terraces, but the stones in the middle are overtaken by antique vendors looking to make a deal.

    Bargaining at the open-air market is expected, so don’t be shy, though do use your manners if you want to get the best price possible. For an even better price, arrive at the market whenever you like but don’t start haggling until it looks like a vendor is about to pack up and go home; that’s when they’ll be most likely to ease up on pricing. Check their website to find out the date for the next market.

    While Marche aux Poissons, the fish market at Place Saint-Francois, might not be a good shopping option for travellers without the means to cook their purchases, many still find the marketplace a prime spot for people-watching.

    Nearby cafés and bakeries provide outdoor seating from which you can enjoy a small bite and coffee. Market vendors are often hard at work, preparing and hawking their wares with fresh seafood. Be careful as you enjoy your snack as it can attract a fair number of seagulls and other interesting critters.
