Open-air markets Toulouse

The Saint-Aubin market is the place to be on Sunday mornings in Toulouse to fill your basket. In a friendly and sometimes festive atmosphere, you can stroll along the stalls around the Saint-Aubin Church. Fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, French and international dishes... Organic and local producers come from all over the region to offer you the best culinary specialties of the area. You will also find creative craftsmen, book stands, jewelry, there is something for everyone!

A bit of a bohemian market? No doubt, but it's for a good cause: defending local producers of organic produce! The L'esparcette association founded this market thirty years ago, when it was the first organic market in France. The products on offer are inspected and certified, to guarantee you a healthy diet. Nearly thirty producers are represented: fruit, vegetables, cheese, bakery, meat and fish, honey, wine, lentils, flowers... Please note that during the Christmas festivities, the market will be moved a few meters to rue d'Alsace-Lorraine.

The Arnaud-Bernard district is a working-class part of the city that has timidly begun its transformation towards diversity. Its main square is home to two open-air markets. One is held on Thursdays, exclusively for second-hand booksellers. The other takes place on Saturday mornings. You won't find any exotic products here: this is a market that relies exclusively on small-scale producers. It's an opportunity to quickly find local produce, some of it organic. It's an interesting complement to the Cristal market, which is just a few dozen meters away on the boulevards and features fruit and vegetables from the Grand Marché.

In addition to its three covered markets, Toulouse has many open-air food markets. The most central is the Cristal market. But you may be more attracted by the "village" atmosphere of the Saint-Aubin market on Sunday mornings, surrounded by good restaurants where you can enjoy a good meal! All week long, neighborhood markets take place in Place Dupuy, Place Saint-Georges, Place Job, Place du Salin, Square Charles de Gaulles (organic)... Consult the website of the city hall of Toulouse to know which one is the closest to your residence.
