The best of craftsmenunder one roof
Push open the doors of the Halles de Tours and let your senses be your guide. In this bustling covered market, professionals perpetuate their skills with passion. Savour the special bread just out of the oven, smell the matured cheeses to perfection, admire the colourful stalls of the greengrocers.
The butchers and pork butchers offer their house specialities, while the fishmongers present their arrival of iodised produce every morning. And don’t miss the maison Clément, a delicatessen where you’ll find the top local flavours (pears tapées, rillettes de Tours, Loire fish terrine, preserved foie gras, Loire wines…). With its peppers and spices, the Palais des Epices will take you further afield but with a local specialist: Terre Exotique, a company based in Rochecorbon.
