Covered markets and market halls Midi-Pyrénées

In addition to the open-air market for early fruits and vegetables, cheese, meat, bread, clothing and utensils, there is a famous "marché au gras" (fat market) held under the market hall, where sales are regulated to ensure quality, freshness and hygiene. The term "au gras" includes the carcass market and the market for fresh whole goose or duck livers. The "carcass" market offers goose and duck products for your confits, duck breasts and aiguillettes. Cutting service available.

The "belly of Toulouse"! Several famous Toulouse brands have their dressing rooms here: Betty or Deux Chavanne cheese dairies, La Marée Toulousaine and its tasty delicatessen preparations, Garcia or Copains comme cochons delicatessen, Marty or Besnier butcher's shops, La Parmentière delicatessen or the gourmet Délices de l'Inde delicatessen? You will also find bakers, wine merchants, tripiers and bars, for an impromptu aperitif. At lunchtime, go to the mezzanine where there are five restaurants. Night parties are regularly organised: a festive atmosphere is guaranteed!

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.

We date the origin of this market to the end of the 19th century! Of the three covered markets in Toulouse, it is the only one to have preserved a market hall in keeping with the original spirit. Around thirty traders await you in pretty stalls and a village spirit: butchers, creamers, fishmongers, caterers, butchers... so many passionate craftsmen and producers, ready to advise you, plus a small bar for a break. Outside, you can enjoy the fresh produce. On Monday, the day off, the market hall is not totally inactive as it houses a bookstore market under its awnings.

Located in one of the most charming districts of the pink city, the Carmes market welcomes fifty traders in bright and pleasant booths. Many restaurants in Toulouse buy fresh vegetables there. Cheeses, bakery products, meats and fishes are waiting for you! But if you don't feel like cooking, the Carmes market, as well as its surroundings, also offer very pleasant tables for lunch!

It's one of Alès' must-sees. From butchers and greengrocers to fishmongers, bakers and cheesemongers, all these regional producers invite you to join them at Les Halles de l'Abbaye for a delightful discovery that will awaken all your senses. 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.

At Planche et Tire-bouchon, you'll be drawn in by the delicious smells emanating from the tables. From Tuesday to Sunday, as early as 8 a.m., you can enjoy thin slices of "Pata Negra de Jabugo" or Serrano ham, chorizo or soubressade. You'll want it all!

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 Gimont, come and enjoy the "Grasse Matinée" on Sunday mornings at the Halle au Gras! Between October and March, amateurs and professionals gather around carcasses displayed on long tables, cleaned but whole, with the exception of the liver, which is sold separately. The products are inspected by the veterinary services. The market, which complies with current sanitary standards, starts with a whistle, and the most seasoned bidders snap up the finest products. Toulouse restaurateurs flock to this first-rate source.

This emblematic establishment of the Halles de Narbonne, created more than thirty years ago by Jackie, who held it during all these decades, is reborn today by preserving the same well kept secret of the manufacture of an incomparable paste which made its reputation.

We advise you to place your order as soon as possible as the success of this "institution" is so great.

The Caussade fat market brings together all lovers of local products. Exposed on large tables, many products are ready to be cooked: ducks and Muscovy ducks, geese, fresh foie gras, whole carcasses or without the liver... We also offer to the buyers a service of cutting during all the duration of the market, and if you want to meet the producers, they welcome you at the farm by appointment. You will also find nearby the open-air market with many fresh, local and quality products.

Visiting Toulouse and not passing by the inevitable Victor Hugo market? It's impossible! The oldest covered market in France is one of the most emblematic places of life in the pink city.

Present in Nîmes since 1919, real institution in Nîmes and in the Gard, known for individuals as well as professionals, Les Nadal has just opened an outlet at the Halles. An excellent idea! The quality of the large wines sold is well suited to the good regional products that make the reputation of this market courru of all gourmets. Jean-Pascal and Mathieu accepted the invitation of the Halles of the Halles and therefore began to venture into the adventure: you can rely on their advice. They will help you with skill and psychology to choose your aromas and your type of milling. A character house that no longer has to prove its nobility. We love!

The Condom market is held below Place Saint-Pierre in the pretty covered market hall. Twice a week, local producers take over the stalls to offer Condom residents a fine selection of typical products: fruit and vegetables, poultry, preserves... The market is essentially a food market. In summer, of course, you'll find more shoppers, and more stalls of local producers welcoming you in good spirits. It's best to come early for a wide choice. The market is also held on Sunday mornings on boulevard Saint-Jacques.

Do you like Iberian ham? This shop in the heart of the market is for you! The owner, full of energy, will advise you according to your preferences and your budget.

Every Monday morning, the central square of Mauvezin is transformed. Its large and superb 14th century market hall and the arcades welcome the merchants. This is an opportunity for the faithful regulars or passing shoppers to fill their baskets with good products. It is also the opportunity to discover the city in a lively and commercial atmosphere which makes it all the more warm. This brings us back to the time when supermarkets did not exist and when these open-air gatherings were an essential part of the social link.
