It's one of Alès' must-sees.

You'll find all the local produce you need to put in your basket to enjoy the best of the Gard Cévennes: Cévennes charcuterie, goat's cheese (the famous Cévennes pélardons), Cévennes sweet onions, Vigan reinette apples and chestnut honey.

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.

As well as delicatessen dishes, groceries, fine breads, wines and even exotic dishes. On the first Sunday of every month, La Criée hosts the Marché à Manger, a Breton-style food market.

To be precise, the Beauvau market is the covered market, held under the beautifully framed halle. The Marché d'Aligre, on the other hand, brings together the Halle Beauvau and the outdoor stalls. It's one of the capital's most popular markets. It's a very competitively priced market, with a majority of vendors selling fruit and vegetables, as well as vintage objects. For fish, meats, cheeses, and pastries, it's under the covered market hall.

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!

"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.

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.

South of Nîmes, on the 960^m2 premises of the Gard Chamber of Agriculture, we offer you 100% Gard produce, with no intermediaries. 150 shareholder producers and over 3,000 partner farmers are involved!

During the summer season, all eyes are on the beach. But all year round, it's under the Halles that the people of Chatelaillonnais gather. In the heart of a lively street, the market opens its doors every day from May onwards. There's no question of just filling your shopping bag! It's a place for regulars to sip coffee on the terrace and catch up on old times. Under the halls, you'll find producers selling fresh produce, as well as a nearby bakery.

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.

In the beautiful setting of the covered market, not far from the bus station, the Vergers Tellier store, a well-known brand in the North, has recently opened. Here, priority is given to local products, from the area. You can find a lot of fruits and vegetables from Cambrai, but also many references of beers, delicacies and other chocolates from the North. It is also possible to buy many cheeses or to make gift baskets, all with a smile!

The Kérinou organic market is aptly named, as we will find all the good local products (all organic, or almost!) that will irrigate our plates all week. But a market is sometimes a question of habits, of routines. You go to "your" butcher, "your" market gardener, "your" cheese maker. If you are just passing through Brest or if you have just arrived, let yourself be surprised, try it out, here everything is good and you will be welcomed with good humour, whether the weather is gloomy or all about the promise of a beautiful day.

Joëlle with the cheeses, Pascal and Sylviane with the pancakes, Youna and her vegetables or Nguyen Thien Minh for the marvelous Asian dishes: the Halles Saint-Martin is the joy of faces, it is the atmosphere of a covered market located in the heart of a nice, simple district that never gets bored. The regulars have their habits, the newcomers will not be lost and will quickly find their marks. It is a classic market, of course, we know the dance steps. But it's also something else, an extra soul to discover.

There's also a lovely mushroom stand, and a small poultry shop. And don't forget the creamery, with its mouth-watering yoghurts and crème fraîche. At the entrances to the market, you'll find nurserymen, bakers and a fishmonger offering excellent cod brandade. This is the place to catch up on the previous day's rugby match, a warm and friendly market.

It's been given a facelift to better welcome the people of Agen and beyond, with more space and a more practical layout. The lively market is staffed by some twenty traders and craftsmen, offering top-quality produce and the friendly welcome you'd expect from a market.

A gourmet institution.

In Gimont, come and enjoy the "Grasse Matinée" on Sunday mornings at the Halle au Gras!

It's the heart of this district in the throes of "boboïsation"! This covered market hall, with its Baltard-style metal structure - which has become rather rare in the capital - is home to some twenty traders: from market gardeners to cheesemongers, as well as caterers and a few food courts. This popular market is mainly frequented by local residents, but also increasingly by tourists, who find the place so French. The market is surrounded by small pedestrian streets with numerous terraces

Welcome to the largest covered market in Paris under a Baltard hall. If you don't know it yet, run there.

There are of course great food products here, but also (and more and more) flowers. Finally, there are many tourists, including foreigners, who find the place "so French". We won't miss enjoying it, and there are always those who will find that the place is less typical than before. Not wrong, but not enough not to go there.

From the old architecture, four stone porches that blend perfectly into the modern facade have been preserved. This market is different, with its outward-facing businesses that offer shoppers services that complement the food products offered indoors. It is very lively, almost bubbling at certain times of the day, especially on Sunday mornings. On the other hand, few stands, so few choices but well selected and of high quality. The "Mille et une spécialités (Thousand and One Specialities) butcher's shop is interesting for its good value for money. Les Jardins d'Anthony by Sébastien Manier is a beautiful greengrocer stand that inspires the young chef Brice Morven for his restaurant Au comptoir de Brice, located in the heart of the market. Italian and Afro-Caribbean specialties, Aunt Emma and her German products, an organic square and a shoemaking and locksmith shop.
