Shopping in Grenoble's most beautiful square, even during the renovation of the Parlement du Dauphiné, is a real treat. Place Saint-André, also known as "place du trib" (in reference to the former Palais du Justice), offers a magnificent backdrop with the former seat of the Parlement du Dauphiné, its impressive dimensions, its cafés with terraces and its blue granite floor. On this pedestrian-only square, every day except Monday (as elsewhere in Grenoble), there's a farmers' market featuring products from the Isère region, including several organic producers. It's a friendly little market where you can stock up on good produce.

It's the market of a historic district. Place aux Herbes is an adorable square covered by a small late 19th century hall that welcomes every morning, except on Mondays, retailers of freshly picked fruit, vegetables and flowers. This market, between the working-class district on the Chenoise side and the shopping centre, a pedestrian area, is a little bit at a crossroads. On Friday from 3pm to 6.30pm the Isère mountain market is reserved for local producers only. Very pleasant, the many terraces on the square and around to have a drink before/after its market. Shops to complete your basket. A real meeting place.

At the corner, or almost, the Cours and Jean-Jaurès courses, a small fish shop in the neighborhood as you love them and you have to keep them carefully. An address that should not be missed to buy fish, shellfish and crustaceans, bringing a little more Grenoble from the sea. The bench is probably not the most complete in the town, but there are fish directly from the French fishing ports and the know-how of fish to lift nets as no one and give us the right advice to prepare them.

In our gourmet nets, very few fish shops in the center of Grenoble. You will have to take advantage of the mornings when the Jean Doré is open to buy seafood at the Halles Sainte-Claire. Fish freshly caught by line or by small boats from French ports. Good advice on how to prepare or to find a nice fillet without bones. Specialties of fish from the region, with trout from the Vercors, féras or perches from Lake Geneva, beautiful oysters to treat us at the time of the festivals. Good fishing.

Friday.

Friday and Saturday morning.

Between the station and Saint-Bruno districts, this address cannot leave all gourmands insensitive. It must be said that there are few food shops of this quality in an area that is more oriented towards fast food and other local shops.

ADAYG, an association for the development of agriculture in the Y Grenoble region, has been working since 1984 in favour of peri-urban agriculture that promotes the development of short circuits, thereby limiting transport and pollution by bringing consumer producers closer together. This approach, led by farmers and elected representatives of the communities, resulted in the creation of a collective mark Land of Ici, farmers in the Region of Y Grenoble. Each year, an accreditation committee makes changes to the specifications in order to better meet consumer expectations. The members of the Land of Ici trademark undertake to respect this specification which specifies the practices to be respected for each production. The 4 commitments of the Charter Lands of Ici: respect for the environment; the quality of origin Y Grenoble; quality of reception, information and services; transparency of approach and control of the network. An external body is responsible for carrying out the checks. The approved retailers and restaurateurs of Ici also support the local agricultural economy and participate in better management of natural spaces at the doors of cities by proposing the widest possible range of products. Choosing the Lands Marked Lands from here is choosing the quality of life.
