Attention seafood lovers! For twenty years now, this culinary celebration has been making the heart of Montmartre beat with the rhythm of the Breton tides. Organized by the CCI Côtes d’Armor in collaboration with the Régionale Association of the Saint-Jacques Shell and the Commanderie du Clos Montmartre, the event transforms the Place des Abbesses into a delicious market where Breton produce reigns supreme.


All-you-can-eat scallops, festive atmosphere, and Breton traditions

On Saturday, January 24, and Sunday, January 25, 2026, this must-attend event promises to delight both young and old with a feast of exceptional products.
