La Couronne Market

South of Angoulême, the La Couronne market is one of the major shopping destinations in the Pays d'Angoulême region. Located on the Place du Champ de Foire, in the heart of the town, it is prized for its variety, the quality of its products, and its friendly atmosphere. The city describes it as a particularly vibrant market, rich in local products and neighborhood vendors.

A true hub of local life, the market brings together producers, artisans, and merchants who, depending on the day, offer a wide variety of products: seasonal fruits and vegetables, fresh food, regional specialties, farm-fresh goods, as well as non-food items and handicrafts. On Saturdays, its more diverse selection makes for a pleasant stroll for both residents and visitors looking to experience the atmosphere of a traditional Charente market.

The La Couronne market is an ideal stop to experience daily life in a vibrant town just outside Angoulême. After browsing the stalls, visitors can continue their exploration of the local heritage, including the Notre-Dame de La Couronne Abbey, the walking trails, and the landscapes of the Charente Valley.

La Couronne also hosts a farmers’ market at La Pinotière farm every Thursday afternoon, offering the chance to meet producers directly and discover Charente farm products sold straight from the farm.
