Markets Franche-Comté

Grand Cost is a little like a large covered market. Under this hall, there are five specialists: an early, a grocer, a butcher-butcher, a crémier and a fish! Every day the best of their products is offered at attractive prices! What we love: the grocery store in the world. What better than travelling through a good meal? Next, the family partner is found: bakery Marie Blachère. This smells good bread. Sandwiches and pastries are also available at the same time. Nice parking.

One of the great classics of the market, you will find on Eric Léger's stand a beautiful range of pâtés en croûte, from the andouille from the Vosges, ham on the bone which he slices in front of you, roasted white ham with herbs or even cured ham from the Morvan. As for the sausages, there is something for every taste: pure pork from the mountains of Lyon, Beaufort, walnut or wild boar... The welcome reserved for the customers is most pleasant. You will easily spot his stand, overhung by an old-fashioned sign on which a pig is represented.

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!

This market in Besancon presents local products offered by local producers or sedentary traders in Doubs. You will find gastronomic products and quality handicraft products: bread, vegetables and fruit, chickens, rabbits, guinea fowl and roasted ducks, hams and other cured, eggs, cheeses and flowers… What makes you want to return regularly!

Every Sunday, the market of Chevigny St Sauveur takes place from 7 am to 1 pm on the car park of the Ogive. The atmosphere is good-natured and very pleasant. You will find stalls selling local cheeses, vegetables, fruits but also meats and even roasted chicken! Not forgetting the refreshment stall, which is run every Sunday by a different Chevignoise association, which is responsible for making the atmosphere festive and joyful. An event that has won over its clientele.

A real neighbourhood market with beautiful primeurs, meat, fish, flowers, fabrics… Very user-friendly, merchants make good advice to choose and cook your products; the time is nice, and you will obviously cross the regulars and probably your neighbours. The ideal place to meet and discuss the current and life of the neighbourhood.

In this most recent hall, the stands are offered in the natural light of the large glass windows that put the products in value. It is clean, large and pleasant, with a light heating when it is cold and a warm welcome when it is hot. The primeurs have the above, but you will also find butchers (traditional and horse-butchers), grocery stores (Asian, Italian, Spanish…), a beautiful and long fish, a good bakery, cheese dairies, local products, our region and other gourmet areas, but also remarkable organic products. At noon, if your market has a little longer and the little slack is felt, you can sit on the terrace at the Market La Cuisine restaurant for 8,80 € or 15 €, you will taste good fresh products, well prepared and will still enjoy a few moments of this typical ambiance of the studios, with this good living side that gives you breathing.

Les Halles de la Loire was established in the former municipal slaughterhouses built in 1836, on the banks of the Loire. Come here to harvest the best of fruit and vegetables, cheeses, not forgetting groceries, drinks, but also 100% natural household products. Local, artisanal, but also flavors from the 4 corners of France. Tastings are regularly proposed, and you can also have gourmet gift boxes made. A nice souvenir to put on your plates!

It has been 7 years since this important market has become an unmissable event for lovers of local commerce. Every Wednesday morning, it is on the esplanade of the canal that traders and barges meet in front of the fifteen or so stalls, mainly food stalls. Organic and non-organic fruit and vegetable sellers, fishmonger, butcher, roaster, cheese makers, baker and pastry cook. Are you by car? You can park easily on the car park of the quai Nicolas-Rolin but don't hesitate to come by tram or on foot! The setting is green, the stalls are lined up along the quay, it blows here an air of holiday! You will find enough to fill your basket for the week, even with some spices or a nice bouquet. A nice little market.

Some organic, some local! The Drive fermier 21 offers a wide range of 100% Côte-d'Or farm products: bread, fruit and vegetables, meat, charcuterie, poultry and eggs, cheese and dairy products, ice cream, fish, snails, herbs and spices, beehive products, jams and sweet products, groceries, soft and hard drinks, wines and spirits, farmhouse beers and malts... Go to the site to place your order quietly. Make your basket before Wednesday at midnight and come to collect your order on Friday.

Created in 1983, the Marché au Cadran has gradually become the hub of the Charolais trade in France, and far beyond its borders. France's leading green card market and direct export, it brings together tens of thousands of animals every year, from broutards and bulls to heifers, ewes and goats. An institution we strongly recommend you visit when you're in the region. On the website, the dates of the year's markets are announced.

It is one of the busiest markets in the Dijon area with over 120 traders. The visitors who go there every Sunday leave with their arms full of victuals and for very low prices. You'll love the mouth-watering smell of grilled chicken with herbs, as well as the spice stalls. This market is held every Sunday morning and on the third Sunday of each month, the organic market takes place.

For quality produce, don't miss the Chalon markets. Four major events are held each week. On Wednesdays, at Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, food is king. For the best bargains, head for the Stade district, north of Chalon, on Thursday mornings. On Friday, from Place Saint-Vincent to Place de Beaune, gourmet products and textiles are on sale. And on Sundays, crowds flock to the same place for a feast or an aperitif, often making it difficult to get around. A ritual for many Chalonnais.
