Markets Aude

The Halles are the soul of Narbonne. Bubbling, they are active from 7am and welcome lovers of good products 365 days a year. Under this Baltard style building, completed in 1901, the stalls of nearly 70 food shops are installed: pork butchers, butchers, pastry chefs, bars, tapas, market gardeners, tripe makers, poulterers, pizza makers, florists, caterers, wine merchants, cheesemongers, restaurants... Every day it's lively, especially on Thursday and Sunday! You can fill your basket but also have a breakfast, an aperitif, a lunch...

Bebelle saw big and he did well! After the restaurant where the Belzons family proposes to taste on the spot beautiful plates of meat (beef brochettes, tripe, magret...), Johanna, the sister, took in hand the stall next door to sell you directly the products. You like good meat and excellent charcuterie? Go to the butcher's shop at Bebelle, the butcher François is not stingy with good advice and it's a very appreciable little extra. Don't hesitate to order the best pieces, especially during the Christmas and Easter periods.

At Planche et Tire-bouchon, you will be caught by the delicious smells that emanate from the tables. From Tuesday to Sunday and from 8 am, you can eat thin slices of Pata Negra de Jabugo ham, Serrano ham, chorizo and soubressade. Here, everything will make you want! The bottles are mostly from local production and are priced at the cellar. Stéphanie's selection is perfect to accompany your charcuterie tasting. Tip: remember to order your platters for your aperitif dinners, success guaranteed!

On Thursday mornings, greengrocers, butchers, shellfish, olive and other succulent products are sold in the Cours Mirabeau. That same day the flower market is next door, quai Victor Hugo, with plants and cut flowers. Non-food products are sold on the Promenade des Barques and Cours Mirabeau on Thursday and Sunday mornings. On Tuesday mornings, the "fripe" and Saturday mornings the organic market offering meats, breads, poultry, honeys, cheeses, wines, fruits and vegetables are held Cours Mirabeau. Do not miss: the big festive market in August in the heart of the city.

For more than 20 years, right in the center of Les Halles, the Maison Lopez has been delighting its regular customers and tourists with its certified organic tapenades. Go there and like us, you will fall for the classic tapenade made with green or black olives, unless the green one with peppers or the one with Espelette peppers tickles your fancy. You will also find candied garlic and candied tomato. We also like olive oil in half-liter, liter or five-liter cans. You can taste the tapenades and other spreads before buying.

Isn't it nice to stroll between the stalls of fresh vegetables and fruits, the smells of spices, the tasting of cheeses and delicatessen proposed by the local producers and the products of art crafts? Market days in Port-la-Nouvelle liven up the city all year round, and even more so in summer! For lunch, you can take advantage of the market to find a capon or a poularde from the Lauraguais, a good cassoulet from Castelnaudary, beautiful oysters, fish and shellfish straight from the port, or sweet delicacies from the four corners of the Aude.

This emblematic establishment of the Halles de Narbonne, created more than thirty years ago by Jackie, who held it during all these decades, is reborn today by preserving the same well kept secret of the manufacture of an incomparable paste which made its reputation. You will find the multiple pizzas made from products coming from the shopkeepers of the market, a guarantee of freshness and quality. The reception is always as pleasant. We advise you to place your order as soon as possible as the success of this "institution" is so great.

From the basket to the plate: you can find all the seasonal products and the food trades in this hall with a friendly atmosphere. The concept is to bring together in one place a market of local producers and a brasserie restaurant: Les Tabliers Bleus. In these halls, the service is planned all day long, from breakfast to dinner, including brunch, and afterwork on weekends. Thanks to Jojo, the initiator of this place, who started this success story a long time ago.

Located a stone's throw from the sea and the open-air market, the Lo Vilatge market hall houses a collection of local flavors. They are home to many food shops (butcher, cheese maker, fishmonger, wine maker...) who produce and display their products in about twenty cells. Adjacent to the market hall, the open-air market, lively and colorful, is considered one of the largest markets on the Mediterranean coast. Here, gourmets are spoilt for choice!

The night market not to be missed. Every Tuesday evening, the village of Brousse et Villaret is transformed into a festive agora. Under the cedars, you will find small producers, food-trucks and even concerts. The beautiful poster is made by local graphic designers who live in the village, where all generations and types of people mix: neo-rural and local people. The musical program is also varied and colorful. Not to be missed under any circumstances to feel the heartbeat of the Montagne Noire.

Back in 1996, Patrick and Annaïck Hernandez were already "ambassadors" on the markets for the department's signature dish: cassoulet de Castelnaudary. Since 2005, they've been selling the real cassoulet from the capital of Chaur in Narbonne. They've chosen the cassoulet from Maison Escudier, handcrafted with quality products. You'll find it in cassole or vacuum-packed (fresh cassoulet), as well as canned. Other gourmet products are also available here, as well as free-range poultry, for pick-up or delivery.
