About Fish Market
La Poissonnerie is a neo-Norman fish market hall built in 1936 along the banks of the River Touques. Designed by architect Maurice Vincent, the 700 m² building features reinforced concrete construction with a distinctive false half-timbered facade and corner watchtower, drawing inspiration from traditional Norman architecture. The market houses nine independent fishmongers selling fresh catches from the English Channel including sole, mackerel, sea bass, scallops, oysters, and lobster.

The market hall was built in a record 6 months during 1936. Mayor Fernand Moureaux launched an architectural competition in 1935 specifically requiring regional Norman design, and construction began in April 1936 with the building opening that same autumn.
