> THE TROUVILLE-SUR-MER FISH MARKET: WHERE TRADITION, FLAVOURS AND A WARM, FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE MEET

Situated on Boulevard Fernand Moureaux, overlooking the River Touques and in the heart of Trouville-sur-Mer’s fishing harbour, the Fish Market stands out as an unmissable destination for lovers of seafood and gourmet experiences.

> HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE

The current building, erected in 1936 to plans by local architect Maurice Vincent, with the support of Marcel Davy and Maurice Halley, combines the charm of the Neo-Norman style with modern techniques (reinforced concrete using the Hennebique process)

Listed on the supplementary list of Historic Monuments since 1992, the market hall has stood the test of time, evolving whilst remaining true to its roots.

In 2006, a fire severely damaged the building, but the market hall was rebuilt exactly as it was and reopened to the public shortly afterwards.

> A VIBRANT MARITIME ATMOSPHERE

From dawn onwards, the stalls come to life amongst the nine fishmongers’ stalls lined up along the market hall. Here you’ll find a selection dominated by produce from the English Channel: sole, mackerel, scallops, shellfish, oysters and many other treasures from the sea.

The place charms visitors as much with its vibrancy as with its authenticity: here, you can come to put together your own seafood platter as you wander the stalls, or simply stroll amongst the oysters and fresh fish.

The Halle aux Poissons in Trouville-sur-Mer is more than just a market: it is a meeting place for fishermen, fishmongers and seafood lovers, where people come as much for the quality of the produce as for the experience itself – a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds.

> OPENING TIMES & CATERING

The fishmongers’ stalls in the market hall are open every day of the year, with opening hours varying by trader: opening between 7 am and 9 am, and closing at 7 pm.

Food is available on site, allowing you to enjoy your purchases straight away in a friendly atmosphere. The only exceptions are 24 and 31 December, when food is not available.
