Marché de Talensac
Nantes' largest indoor food market, with Loire seafood, oysters, Breton butter and deli foods, where you can eat freshly shucked oysters on the spot.
The Talensac Market, built in the 1930s, is Nantes' most popular food market. Indoors you'll find fishmongers, butchers, cheese shops and bakeries, while open-air stalls surround the building. Specialities include Atlantic oysters, shellfish, Guérande sea salt and Breton salted butter caramel, and some stalls serve freshly shucked oysters with a glass of white wine. It is closed on Mondays and busiest in the morning. It is near the Erdre river, about a 5-minute walk from Île de Versailles.
