Marché Forain de Bras-Panon is one of the east’s most consistent local markets, with strong agricultural roots and a focus on fruit, greens, honey, plants, and homemade Creole products. It’s active without being chaotic, and the produce tends to be fresher and cheaper than on the west coast.

What to expect:

• Seasonal fruit like tangors, ananas victoria, bananas, lychees (when in season)

• Brèdes, ti jacques, chouchou, and bunches of wild herbs

• Jars of miel de litchis, local jams, pickles, and small-scale charcuterie

• Prepared snacks like samoussas, bonbons piments, and pain bouchon

• Mostly cash-only and open-air, with some shaded areas

The layout is straightforward, and the vendors are usually chatty. It’s a great place to stock up before a hike or day trip inland.

👉 Don’t miss the honey stands. Bras-Panon is known for its litchi orchards, and the local honey here is some of the best on the island.
