About
The Saint-Pierre market is held on Wednesdays, from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm, on Place Quilbignon, in Brest. The district, on the right bank of the Penfeld, is the former town of Saint-Pierre-Quilbignon, which became part of Brest in 1945. It has kept its village centre, where the market is held. There are food and non-food goods. It is the local midweek market for people on the right bank. After the market, you can visit the Château de Brest, about 7 minutes by car (3.4 km), and the National Navy Museum in Brest, about 9 minutes by car (4.1 km).
