Sainte-Anne: Discover the Market and Parish Church

When looking for a hotel in Sainte-Anne, the Wednesday market and the parish church offer two different starting points for planning your trip. The market is linked to a specific day of the week and a time-limited schedule; the church to a historical subject and a precisely located tombstone. The focus is therefore on the sequence of vendors in 2026 on the one hand, and on the building’s date, the effigy and the family coat of arms on the other. These two points of interest can be considered independently and weighed according to your interests when deciding on your trip.

Wednesday Market in the Town Centre

The market in Sainte-Anne takes place on Wednesdays in the town centre. The Wednesday market is scheduled for the period from 2 January to 31 December 2026. The butcher La Ferme de la Postière is listed for Wednesdays. On odd-numbered weeks, the cheesemakers Le Rucher du Châtelet, La Masteria and Les Saveurs du pâturages are named; on even-numbered weeks, the list includes, among others, the Sabaï Thaï food truck and burger vendors. The selection of listed vendors therefore depends not only on the Wednesday, but also on whether it is an odd- or even-numbered week. If you are planning your visit around a particular vendor, check whether the Wednesday falls in an even- or odd-numbered week and consult the weekly schedule before your trip.

Sainte-Anne Parish Church and the Tombstone Detail

The Sainte-Anne parish church dates from the 12th century. At the entrance to the sanctuary is a tombstone bearing an engraved image of a woman wearing clothing from the time of Henry IV. The coats of arms of the Taffu family can be seen beside her head; they have been partially worn away by the feet of the faithful. The two historical references relate to different subjects: the 12th century is the date of the parish church, while the clothing is associated with the time of Henry IV. The tombstone can therefore be considered in terms of its location, the effigy, the dating of the clothing and the coat of arms. A coat-of-arms shield is the surface on which a coat of arms is depicted; here, the shields belong to the Taffu family. The areas that have been partially worn away provide another specific detail alongside the depiction of the woman. This small, clearly defined motif thus brings together the building’s historical date, the period associated with the clothing and the family coats of arms.

Market Day or Historical Interest?

When planning a trip, the market and the parish church serve different purposes. The market helps you plan your calendar: in addition to Wednesday, the listed vendors depend on whether it is an even- or odd-numbered week. The parish church, by contrast, offers a historical point of interest; its date and the tombstone detail can be explored independently of the weekly schedule. The church’s dating to the 12th century and the association of the clothing with the time of Henry IV refer to different subjects. You can therefore weigh the market day and the church motif separately, depending on whether a specific Wednesday or the historical subject is more important to you.
