Tip: The galette-saucisse stands between the two halls fire up from sunrise; go before 11:00 to beat the queue that swallows the square.
Address: Place des Lices, 35000 Rennes
The Halles Centrales put a daily covered market in the middle of Rennes, 28 fishmongers, cheesemongers, butchers and greengrocers under the Criée's 1922 roof.
Tip: This is the everyday market when it is not Saturday, and Sunday 09:00 to 13:00 is the only food shopping left in the city that day; BioCrêp inside griddles a €3.50 organic galette-saucisse.
The Marché Bio on the Mail François Mitterrand is Rennes' all-organic market, a Wednesday-afternoon line of certified growers under the plane trees.
Tip: It runs into the evening, so it doubles as an after-work shop; arrive from 17:00 when every stall is set up.
The Place Hoche market gives Rennes a Thursday-afternoon producers' stop between the university and the Thabor, small stalls in student territory.
Tip: Combine it with the 16h30 patisserie and Rue Hoche's food strip two minutes away.
The Sainte-Thérèse market fills Place du Souvenir in south Rennes on Wednesday mornings, one of the city's biggest after the Lices, strong on organic growers.
Tip: Look for the apple growers; this market is known for orchard fruit and pressed juice from the Rennes basin.
The Saint-Germain market sets up by the church square in central Rennes on Wednesday mornings, a compact food market steps from the Vilaine and République.
Tip: The smallest central market; use it for a quick shop rather than a browse, then coffee on the nearby quays.
The Maurepas market runs Tuesday mornings on Place Lucie et Raymond Aubrac in north-east Rennes, a neighbourhood market on the B metro line.
Tip: Metro line B stops at Gros-Chêne right by the square, making this the easiest non-central market to reach.
