Music and terroir in the heart of the Marais poitevin
Born in 2022 from a meeting between the association J'adore Niort and the producers of the Coulon dairy, the Festival Marché Gourmand is an original concept that combines live concerts and local gastronomy in the enchanting setting of the Marais poitevin. What was originally just a single evening gathering 4,000 people has become, in a few years, a three-day festival attracting 14,000 festival-goers.
A generous musical program
The Festival Marché Gourmand offers an eclectic and ambitious musical program that spans genres. Rock, reggae, electro, pop, French chanson, punk: headliners follow one another on the main stage over three evenings. The 2025 edition notably hosted Axel Bauer, Danakil, La Compagnie Créole, Sniper, Ultra Vomit, Hilight Tribe, and Tagada Jones, demonstrating the festival's growing ambition.
The taste of the terroir
True to its DNA, the festival highlights local producers and artisans from the Marais poitevin through a gourmet market that delights the taste buds. Cheeses, cured meats, wines, craft beers, Maraîchin specialties: festival-goers discover the flavors of the Deux-Sèvres region in a friendly and festive atmosphere.
Spectacular success
The spectacular growth of the festival — from 4,000 visitors in 2022 to 14,000 in 2025 — testifies to the quality of the event and the public's enthusiasm. The village of Coulon, the gateway to the Marais poitevin, offers an ideal bucolic setting for this summer event that vibrates to the rhythm of music and flavors.
