About
The Kérinou market is held on Rue du Moulin-à-Poudre, in Brest, in a covered area. It has two sessions: Tuesday from 3.30 pm to 8 pm, and Saturday from 8 am to 12.30 pm. It is both an organic and a traditional market: organic produce sits alongside the usual stalls, so you can fill your basket whatever the weather. The Tuesday evening slot, rare in Brest, lets you shop on the way home from work. The Saturday morning one draws more families from the neighbourhood. After the market, you can visit the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Brest, about 5 minutes by car (2.4 km), and the National Navy Museum in Brest, about 6 minutes by car (2.7 km).
