Markets France

As well as stocking up on fresh produce at the large shopping center on the outskirts of the town, residents can also visit the market held at Les Halles and on Sunday mornings at the Pèlerins traffic circle. This is an ideal opportunity to fill your shopping basket and meet local producers. During the summer months, enjoy the friendly atmosphere of the night markets, which take place on the château esplanade, with live music. You'll find creations by local artisans.

It is one of the most important markets in the Cotentin region. Every Friday, the one in Valognes literally transforms the town, changing the traffic and life for a morning, allowing thousands of people to come and trade with the 150 sellers - a figure that is higher in summer. From poultry to carpet merchants (literally!), from fish to fruit and vegetables and cheese, there is no shortage of anything! Beware of parking, difficult when the market is in full swing, in the middle of the morning: you have been warned.

To find fresh ingredients, go all the mardis morning as from 7:30 on the place Weiss for a friendly and friendly market. Fruits, vegetables, cheeses, fish but also ready-to-wear, flowers... An appointment arésien not to miss!

You will find in this vast space several food shops: butcher's shop, delicatessen, fruit, vegetables, grocery store, oysters from Lestre, salmon from Cherbourg, wine, cheese shop, creamery and restaurant... nothing is missing and everything is good, certified of great quality, and proposed by true connoisseurs. Little by little, the place has been adopted by the people of Cherbourg. Brunches are organised on Sundays: in summer, you can have them outside, since this street is pedestrian. A real favourite in this part of town.

Since 1831, the Covered Market has been a place of commerce and meetings with St. Stephen's Cathedral as its neighbour. Originally, this magnificent building was an episcopal palace. Go shopping to discover good regional products, fruits, vegetables, but also meats, fish and cheeses, flowers and teas... Some addresses will allow you to eat pleasantly, without fuss in a unique atmosphere. This U-shaped building, with two wings framing the courtyard, hosts the weekly market on Saturdays. A good plan!

Smaller in size than the large Sunday market on Boulevard Raspail, the Batignolles organic market brings together some of the finest organic farmers in the Paris region. You can fill your shopping bag with bread, pastries, cheeses and other dairy products, fruit and vegetables, meat, poultry, fish... Stop off at Philippe Grégoire, cheese maker, Michel Renard, market gardener, and Laure and Mathieu Thiriet, butchers. A few steps away, some nice cafés open their arms to you for a break on the terrace. A real moment of relaxation to start the weekend well. Although it is very busy, this market is not overrun by crowds.

Montélimar boasts a charming Provençal market square in the heart of the town, surrounded by old houses with colourful facades, café terraces under the arcades and typical shops. The square is even more lively and colourful on Wednesdays and Saturdays, when the merchants' parasols open. A gourmet rendezvous, a place of pleasure and relaxation to stock up on fresh ingredients to put the sunshine in your pots and pans. On Saturdays, the market also takes place on the Place des Clercs and the Place de l'Europe.

Others have a weekly market, Novels have its almost daily markets: every day except on Mondays! Food market on Tuesday morning on the Pierre-Didier course; Wednesday and Saturday on Hector-Berlioz Square; Thursday morning in front of the Méannes shopping centre; but the most important and most popular is Friday morning. On that day, the market is deployed in different parts of the city throughout the day. As for the Sunday morning market, it is one of the finest and largest food markets in the region. Stands are located in the bottom of the city. Note also a vide that takes place on the second Sunday of the month Quai Ulysses Chevalier, and finally an annual rendez-vous not missed in autumn: the Fair of the Dauphiné.

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.

Not one, but two markets! They are held on Wednesday and Saturday morning at Fernand-Marquigny square, as well as in the covered market, the hall and their surroundings. You will surely enjoy walking between the stalls of the merchants, who come for some to sell the quality food products they have spent months to cultivate, and for others the expensive clothing they have found, or even the objects (useful or not) they sell at low prices. 

The largest food market in Lyon, along the banks of the Saône, where it is a pleasure to come on Sunday morning. The clientele is happily mixed, from all social classes. It must be said that the setting lends itself to it and that you can find everything with about fifty traders on weekdays and 121 traders on weekends: vegetables, fish, artisanal fruit juices, butchers, delicatessens (especially from the Ardèche), cheeses, flowers... Good idea: plan to withdraw cash the day before or in another place, because the district's distributors are overrun!

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.

"A real playground for your taste buds", as they say so well at Sources de Vie! Here we apply the locavore concept: the products come from the Saint-Etienne-du-Grès market where producers and retailers meet three times a week. In season, there are several varieties of strawberries from the region: mara des bois, gariguettes, cléry, for which the Sources de Vie team will explain the specifics. The quality is there, and you won't be disappointed by the melons, courgettes or others always chosen with care.

Wednesday and Saturday mornings. To see, in summer, beautiful flower stands.

Every Tuesday until noon, under the Loggia of the Arsenal, the shopkeepersof Corsica and Sardinia unpack their local products with the itinerant merchants who are numerous in season to transform the place into a beautiful myriad of multicoloured stands.

On Fridays until 1pm also, you will find a market of local producers who offer products from agricultureorganic from the extreme south of Corsica.

A small enclave of Aveyron in Herblay, in the heart of the Patte d'Oie shopping zone, these halles are a testament to the strength of this collective, participatory concept devised by the Unicor cooperative, originally from Rodez. The local version covers an area of 1,000 m² and offers the very best of Aveyron: all farm produce with an official sign of quality, as well as all specialities: meats and poultry, charcuterie, wines, groceries and bakery products are all on offer here.

On Sunday mornings, a traditional market is held in the town center. From late June to mid-September, on Thursday evenings from 5pm, the Marché des Saveurs in Cancale's old quarter lets you meet local producers and discover their specialties. Finally, every day, the oyster market offers tastings on site or to take away. Located at the very end of the Port de la Houle, facing the sea and the oyster beds, you can savour the Cancale atmosphere with a glass of white wine at this typical and unmissable spot.

A beautiful market that dates back to 1933! Quality and freshness are the order of the day. We prefer it to the neighbouring supermarket for Sunday meals. In a smiling and friendly atmosphere, you can enjoy the smell of fruits, vegetables, Indian and Japanese recipes, but also the lively atmosphere of the place. In winter, one rushes back home to cook and in summer, why not go and sit in the neighbouring Prébendes garden to taste what one has just bought? A nice stop for the inhabitants of the neighbourhood!

On Wednesday morning.

A veritable institution, an economic and gastronomic lung, Les Halles de Biarritz has been in existence since 1885.

A vast or rather long market on a street where many shops (perfumeries, bookshops...) are open on Sunday mornings. Stalls can be found on both sides of rue de la Convention, between the crossroads with rue de Vaugirard and rue de l'Abbé Groult. The narrow sidewalks make it difficult to get around, and many locals bring their families, baby carriages and carts to the market. And don't forget that some of the shops sell only organic produce.

For more than 75 years, this covered market has been dedicated to the food trade and crafts of the Bourbonnais and the Auvergne. Fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, bakery... It is the ideal place to discover the local products and to taste local specialities such as potato pâté, pompe aux grattons or Comtesse de Vichy cheese. On Saturday morning, about sixty agricultural producers from the Montagne bourbonnaise, Monts de la Madeleine, Sologne bourbonnaise, Val de Besbre and Bocage bourbonnais settle down on the mezzanine.

It is in this emblematic place of the city centre that one comes to make his market several times in the week. A true historical site, these market halls, designed in 1868 and built a few years later, have an incredible charm. The metal framework inspired by Eiffel constructions, decorated with animal motifs is stunning and forms a choice showcase for gourmet and local products. An anti-morosity effect is guaranteed, because taking the time to stroll through the aisles with your basket is more than just shopping. Les Halles centrales welcome: market gardeners, greengrocers, butchers and poultry farmers, cheese-makers and fishmongers for everyone's pleasure. The early risers and the impatient begin their turn as soon as they open after the coffee break in one of the café counters surrounding the halls; the hive quickly comes alive and the queues get longer. You like the friendly atmosphere and the refreshment area where you can put your shopping bag on the floor while you have a drink or even a snack. The Sunday morning brunch is a must. If 2020 has, due to the health crisis, modified the formula, the idea remains the same. From June to September, chefs take it in turns to propose several dishes in order to create a real gourmet brunch. Set up for the occasion, the halls come alive with amateurs of good food and musical entertainment that stretches until the early afternoon. An experience to be lived absolutely if you are in Dijon during this period!
