Local markets in France are a fantastic source of fresh food, filling the air with rich colours, mouth-watering smells and a hive of activity.

• Bénodet market, 20 miles from Domaine de Kerlann , is a lively, traditional Breton market, open every Monday from 9h - 13.30h in Place du Meneyer.
  
  If you travel to the town, take a free afternoon visit to the François Garrec biscuit factory, which is also the place to discover traditionally made crepes and Breton cakes.
  
  Bénodet also has its own local brewery (a revived art in the region), which sells refreshing Breton beer and is open to visits on Fridays in the summer.

• The market in Quimper, just 20 miles from Domaine de Kerlann
  , takes place every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Friday afternoon is our favourite, as this is when the stalls are displaying gorgeous organic produce.

• The open-air market at Vannes, about 60 miles from Les Pierres Couchées, is well worth a look, and is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8h with 13h30.
