At the Saint Lary market | Saint-Lary Tourisme

The Saint-Lary market takes place every Saturday morning. During the winter season, it is held in the parking lot of the… market.

Then, it takes its wings on the parking lot of the cable car, larger and on the edge of the village, facing the Lumière peak: you feel almost in the middle of nature, lulled by the sound of the Neste d’Aure.

Like an air of Sud Ouest

As on most of my stays in Saint-Lary, I obviously went to the market to find this warm atmosphere where colors, perfumes and the hubbub are so characteristic.

Wandering through the alleys of the Saint-Lary market obviously allows you to find fresh fruits and vegetables at the greengrocers, hesitate to buy this or that pair of sunglasses, new binoculars for the next hike, or clothes.

Local producers

But the main interest is in meeting the local producers, discovering their activities (meat, honey, cheeses…), tasting their products, and exchanging views: these men and women, major players in the life of the valley, will speak to you with passion about their trade and their territory.

These farm producers have in fact created an association, called “D’Aure en Louron à la découverte de nos fermes”, which brings together some thirty members. They distribute a small booklet introducing each of them and listing their contact details and every market they attend, as well as the times to visit their farms.
