This market is meant to be on every day but there are few regular stalls. The best day is the Wednesday organic market.

However, a stall selling a large variety of potatoes and some onions, an oyster stand (pictured) and a cheese/charcuterie vendor also appear irregularly. Some days there are none.

Everyday : 11am - 6pm
