About
The Siam Saint-Louis market is the big Sunday morning event in Brest. It sets up right in the city centre, on Rue de Lyon, Rue Boussingault and Rue Pasteur, a short walk from Rue de Siam. It is the biggest market in the city. There are food and non-food goods: enough for the week’s shopping, and for a stroll among the stalls after a coffee. Opening hours change with the season: from 1 May to 30 September, the market runs from 8 am to 1 pm; from 1 October to 30 April, from 8.30 am to 1 pm. After the market, you can visit the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Brest, about 400 m away, and the National Navy Museum in Brest, about 900 m away.
