Sir Selwyn Selwyn-Clarke Market

This covered market in the heart of Victoria is the main produce and craft market of Seychelles, named after a former British governor. Stalls overflow with tropical fruit, spices, fresh fish and the vividly coloured wares that reflect the archipelago's Creole culture. Open on most days, it is the busiest gathering point in the tiny capital, drawing islanders and visitors into its shaded aisles. The surrounding streets host vendors of souvenirs, vanilla and coco de mer curios, making it a lively introduction to everyday Seychellois life.
