Markets Loire

The Place Albert Thomas market is highly appreciated by the people of Stephan in search of good products bought directly from the producers. Many restaurateurs also come here early on Saturday mornings to help themselves. A real reference in terms of quality! You will find fruits, vegetables, cheese and yoghurts, bread... The old varieties are in the spotlight on the square! If the Saturday morning market attracts the largest number of exhibitors and customers, the Friday market is also very interesting because of its specificity as an organic market exclusively. As for the Tuesday and Thursday markets, they allow you to stock up on provisions during the week! We are in favour!

This is the Roannais' meeting place, especially on Sunday mornings. You will discover a multitude of local products under this covered market which has existed for more than three decades, salty or sweet version, both on the sea and land sides. The first fruits are there, the great chocolate maker Pralus too, the fishmongers, including Mr. Chavrier (best worker in France), seafood stands, cheese makers, such as Mr. Mons (other MOF), butchers, wines and spirits, a roaster... Your basket full, do not hesitate to stop by for a wine and/or oyster tasting or simply a good coffee. What happiness in perspective!

Rive-de-Gier welcomes one of the largest markets, the first of the agglomeration and the second in the department! Concrete walks were removed during the work in 2007. The new coating, pedestrian crossings and the Haspel footbridge, the new paved canal street and water jets, helped revitalize the site. Every Tuesday and Friday you can walk through the aisles filled with fruit and vegetable stalls, various food products and textiles.

The Place Jacquard market is held four times a week: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturday mornings. If it's held so often, it's because it's a sure-fire success. The square is always packed with people. This is a colorful market. Here you'll find a wide range of Maghreb products, including clothing and textiles, fruit and vegetables of course, as well as knick-knacks and gadgets, expired products, underwear, discontinued items, lots bought at auction following the liquidation of a store... In other words, if you come here regularly, you'll be able to score a bargain!

On Wednesday and Saturday mornings, numerous producers and greengrocers, some of them organic, meet here. You'll find everything you need to concoct tasty dishes: eggs, vegetables, seasonal and exotic fruit, cheese, meat, breads, flowers... An Italian caterer travels from Turin to sell his pasta, ravioli and gnocchi, while an oyster farmer occasionally comes up from the Etang de Thau to sell her shellfish. There are also a few clothing vendors. A growing market, with aisles widened following the 2020 health regulations, and which regularly welcomes new traders.

On the first Sunday of November.

Every year during the third Sunday in May.
