Market relocation announced

The forain market in Tampon, a local weekly event where traders sell goods, will move to a new location starting Saturday, November 7, 2026. The new site is under the SIDR 400 canopy on Rue de Paris.

Reason for the change

The move follows damage to the structures covering the Benjamin Hoarau esplanade, which posed safety risks for merchants and visitors. The city’s technical services and police identified these risks and dismantled the structures on October 22, 2026.

Ensuring safety and continuity

City officials emphasized that the relocation aims to ensure the safety of all while maintaining the market’s role as an essential part of local commerce. The usual operating hours from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. will remain unchanged.

New location details

The SIDR 400 canopy on Rue de Paris provides a covered and suitable space for traders. The city is working to set up the market in the best possible conditions and expects the new setup to allow the weekly event to continue as usual.

Future flexibility

The city noted that the details of the new arrangement may change depending on needs and hosting conditions. Officials thanked merchants, neighbors, and visitors for their understanding and cooperation in this transition.
