The Marché des Lices in Rennes is the second largest market in France and it’s the beating heart of the city every Saturday morning. There are two market halls for fresh and craft products, fruit and vegetables in front of the half-timbered houses, fishmongers stalls and a profusion of flowers outside the café terraces – what more could you want? People meet on the pavements, share a coffee or an aperitif, have something to eat and, most important of all, soak up the energy that spills out from the stalls of 300 producers and shopkeepers, all keen to start their weekend in the best possible way.
