About
On Tuesday mornings, a small market is held all year round in Locronan. Locronan is a small town of character, listed among the most beautiful villages in France. Its big cobbled square, its church and its granite houses, built on the sailcloth trade, have been the setting for many films. On Friday late afternoons, a producers’ market is also held on Place du 19-Mars-1962, behind the town hall. In July and August, a Thursday evening market is added. After the market, you can visit the Port-Musée in Douarnenez, about 16 minutes by car (10 km), and the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Quimper, about 20 minutes by car (17 km).
