To
experience the traditional Monaco, visit the market at La Condamine, take a
stroll through the streets and explore the port...
The
Condamine market occupies the Place d’Armes, a simple square but one in which
all the rich diversity of the region’s typical produce can be found. Every
morning, the large esplanade wakes up to the colours and smells of the fruit
and vegetable stalls, surrounded by shaded arcades where you can enjoy an
aperitif and a bite to eat while reading the paper.
This
is a favourite location for Monegasques. It is also the ideal place to get a
flavour of authentic Monegasque life and taste some of the local delicacies. In
the market halls you will find around twenty stalls, selling specialities from
Monaco, Italy, the south-west, and even Asia, all in a warm and friendly
atmosphere with the emphasis on high quality, varied produce.
For
children, there is a carousel near the Stade Nautique, along with play areas on
the market square and at the bottom of the Princess Caroline pedestrian area.
