Bourges markets
Local markets are very important in the capital of Berry, a real weekly meeting between berruyers and local producers. In Bourges and its surroundings, local markets swarm in town and village squares: on the stalls you will find a range of products, real showcases of the Berry region. If you want to try exotic cuisine, you will always find stands of falafel, Indian, Italian and Spanish cuisine whose spicy aromas whet your appetite.
With us, it's simple, there are some every day, so take advantage of it!

The perfect basket
Quality products, seasonal, old varieties, the markets are the guarantors of our heritage and our terroir. To help you with your purchases, here is the list of Berry products to take home:
