A
Grand Marché
If you're patient and peruse the nether regions of the Grand Marché you'll find a fine selection of goods, including Tuareg and Hausa leatherwork, silver jewellery, batiks and tie-dyed cloth. Look out for les couvertures Djerma (known locally as a kountas) - large, bright strips of cotton sewn together into a large blanket, which are truly spectacular and unique to Niger. As always, friendly negotiations are in order!

Score
Next to the Petit Marché, Score is large and loaded with French groceries like Bonne Maman jam. It also sells the cheapest chilled bottled water in town.

Supermarket Haddad
Try to not leave nose marks on this well-stocked supermarket's cheese case, home to Edam, Brie and even Gouda with cumin seeds. Mmmmmm…cheese!

Pottery Market
The hand-painted pottery found at the informal Pottery Market is bulky but beautiful.
