Market gardeners Gard

The Planiols brothers are producers of organic fruits and vegetables that they offer to the customers of Les Halles de Nîmes on their discreet outlet at the Allée driveway. It's a bit of a., but it's a little bit., but it's a little bit eccentric. On weekends, you often need to be patient to serve: stalls are overflowing with world! It should be said that the kindness of those who serve and the freshness of the products are particularly valuable. Next to the early ones, you will also find on the spot what you care in basic products - always organic - of the genus sugar, wine, flour, jars of canned vegetables, cereals… Appreciable, especially as prices for bio are quite reasonable.

A very large stall, located near the main entrance of the Halles, where the welcome is very friendly. Christophe Clément offers: fruit, vegetables and complementary organic products (brown sugar, oils, cereals, salt, compotes, jams, spices, soups, cooked corn on the cob). Squash and forgotten vegetables, such as parsnips, are reborn here and allow for new combinations of flavours. The organic stall offers four or five varieties of apples all year round, for the little ones' stewed fruit, and as many kinds of salads. The rest varies according to the season.

With its original combination of jute bags, in homage to the past and noble and traditional materials, this colourful and fragrant outlet will attract your gaze. The boss is a passionate guy, he talks about dry vegetables with the eye bent and gives you the desire to cook. Listen to it and discover its wild rice, Thai or basmati scented rice, its Mexican chickpeas, its Quinoa quinoa, its Italian polenta and its coral lenses from India: a real trip around the world. But local products are not forgotten, with the rice of the Camargue, the tarbais beans, the green tartar, the Puy lenses and a range of olives and olive oils produced in the Gard.

In terms of green, do not do better at the Halles. The outlet of Cécile and Lucie, offers salads and mescluns without comparisons in the Halles. But it is herbs that the place excels: bouquets of chives, parsley, dill, basil, chervil, tarragon or in, so many possibilities to brighten dishes and salads, make them tasty and colourful. Prices are sometimes high, but the quality is: vegetables and fruit are always either organic or natural local production perfectly selected. Fleshy lawyers, tomatoes, mangoes, tiny turnips, lemons with sheet, leeks and plump rattes will not disappoint you! Put in all the mouths.

Stall is always full of all season early. Listening to his time, Bruno was the first to propose an impressive choice of tomato varieties in the spring: Crimée black, coeur, cerise, cherry and cocktail, cluster, everyone finds their happiness at priceless prices. Part of the stall is devoted to candied fruit, a traditional Provencal tradition, unfortunately not present at the Halles de Nîmes. The choice is vast, the magnificent quality… and prices, as everywhere for this kind of products, sometimes high.

If the reception is typical of the Concurrent Concurrent competitor, the "Kingdom" effectively carries its name: eight varieties of potatoes, a large stall decorated with sweet piments and Lautrec pink garlic, the onion in colorful varieties and lemons. All delivered with speed and attention. To remember that the vulgar "potatoes" book as many variations of taste as the noble tomatoes.

A small outlet but a wide choice for one of the two stalls dedicated to potatoes and onions in Les Halles. The boss, Corsica but nîmois of adoption, has the easy address and the clever eye, and will be happy if you talk to him about car rally, historical version. On the product side, a table reminds you which variety to use for what type of cooking among the four or five proposed. Paille, red or soft onions, shallots and untreated lemons complete the table.

In business since 2000, Les Halles offers fresh fruit, vegetables and greengrocers, under the responsibility of its managers, Bruno and Philippe Martinez. Here, you can buy seasonal fruit and vegetables harvested nearby by local producers, as well as delicatessen products. Strawberries, kiwis, asparagus and seasonal flowers are all available.

Les Truffières d'Uzès is a place where different events take place. For example, it's a truffle bar every Thursday evening from January to March, subject to production. An ephemeral restaurant for groups at lunchtime and in the evening, subject to reservation, during the same period. In recent years, Michel Tournayre, owner of this family estate, has converted almost 20% of the land to develop production of the famous black diamond. Educational tours take you to the heart of the truffle plantations, and the visit is always followed by the opening of the boutique.
