Market

The Landes is the perfect vacation destination for nature, surf and beach lovers. But did you know that the region also offers a rich gastronomy of local products and specialities? To discover them, there's nothing like a trip to one of the Landes' finest markets to meet producers and locals. Between the stalls, the friendly atmosphere, the good humor and, above all, the wonderful smells of cooking and the pretty colors of the products make you want to taste and buy everything. Take your basket and we'll take you to the Landes markets on the coast between Biscarosse, Mimizan and Seignosse, or inland between Dax and Mont-de-Marsan.

Farmhouse duck from the Landes region is of course a gastronomic staple, renowned in particular for its foie gras. Magret, gizzard, aiguillette or offal, don't forget the other choice cuts, and listen to the producer's cooking tips. On the meat side, Chalosse beef is a sure bet, with its marbled texture and melt-in-your-mouth flavour, an IGP meat that's also Label Rouge to delight your taste buds. Get closer to the ocean, and you'll find seafood on the stands, with oysters from Hossegor and delicious seafood with a drizzle of lemon or mayonnaise. If you're a fish lover, don't miss the fish market at the foot of the boats in Cap-Breton! You'll find the freshest products, along with advice and recipes to help you make the most of them. Why not accompany them with sand asparagus grown in the Landes region?

As a place where people meet, markets are often synonymous with sharing and late-morning aperitifs. Get up close to producers of Floc de Gascogne, Chalosse wine or Armagnac to taste them, and leave with a few bottles for lunch. Served with garbure, Landes pastis or Madeleine de Dax for dessert, they're sure to delight every palate.

Enjoy your visit to the Landes markets!
