To discover and taste the riches of the terroir and the littoral (like the oysters of the nearby island of Oléron), several markets are organized (except winter) in the station of La Palmyre.
From the end of March to the end of September, they take place on Wednesday and Sunday morning. Sunday only in October.
But in July and August, there is also programmed a craft market on Wednesday evening.
Organized until then in Royan and then in the outskirts, the festival of Musiques et Gastronomies du Monde is now held in La Palmyre at the end of May or beginning of June over two days. Numerous concerts are scheduled while culinary specialties from around the world can be discovered within the "village" of the festival.
