Under the magnificent 15th century covered market hall of the village, the summer market on Wednesdays at the end of the day brings together local producers and food lovers who come to eat there.

The summer market of Montrol-Senart is a good opportunity to complete the visit of the village in a friendly way. At the initiative of the "Los Moteraus" association, local producers are found to welcome the inhabitants and visitors and offer their meat, vegetables, snails, cheese and homemade pastries. In the centre of the stalls, large tables are installed, crockery and barbecue are made available. The musical atmosphere is often an appointment.

In 1755, the Intendant de Tourny decided to establish a branch of the Grand-Marché on the Place du Parlement. It was named the Royal Market. It was then moved to the Quai des Salinières and finally moved to the Place Saint-Michel in 1960. Today, some 160 traders are spread out on the Place du Bourg and on the Quai des Salinières, offering mainly foodstuffs, but also various items for the home, cosmetics, shoes and clothing. Ideal to buy in quantity, because there are often interesting offers.

Close to the town center, in the attractive, family-friendly neighborhood of the same name, the semi-covered Victor Hugo market is a popular institution, a meeting place for the stalls of 80 merchants, craftsmen and producers.

It's a place to indulge at affordable prices.

A loyal clientele flocks here, appreciating the wealth of stalls offered by the thirty or so merchants.

With the Halles now open on Sunday mornings, the Gramont market might have feared it would disappear. But it hasn't!

Under the arcades, antique books and vinyl will also feed the collector's spirit!
