Markets Rhônes-Alpes

Particularly picturesque thanks to its picture-postcard setting at the foot of the castle, the Aubenas market is frequently cited as one of the most beautiful in France. Every Saturday morning, stalls fill the streets of the old town. The scent of Provence and the Cévennes, with local produce all lined up. In summer, there's a night market every Wednesday from 6 p.m. in the historic center. In addition, numerous fairs punctuate the year, often with medieval origins: Foire aux colains, Foire de la Saint-Antoine, Foire aux chevaux...

A concentration of gourmet talent at Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse. Opened in 1971, they are Lyon's gastronomic stronghold. In this glass-enclosed setting, with its wide aisles and shopping bags in hand, 56 retailers offer the best of the best in the various food trades. A friendly atmosphere around the counters, quality products from certified origins for good eating and drinking. The art of good living in Lyon.

This market is undoubtedly one of the institutions of the territory "Around Lyon". Every Saturday in the city centre, this is the second traditional market in the South-East with 2.6 km of shelves, 300 stalls and nearly 20,000 visitors. You can find fruit and vegetables, farmhouse cheeses, delicatessen, but also exotic products and good clothing deals. Note that a market is held every day of the week, except Monday, in Vienna.

In summer, it is one of the biggest markets in the Ardèche. But this market takes place all year round, every Monday, and is transformed into a real little fair in the summer season, with the street open to pedestrians. It is an opportunity to stock up on seasonal produce, farm products and cured meats. The producers come from all over the region to treat us. It is also a moment of conviviality where we take the time to exchange, even to take a coffee in terrace... A farmers' market is set up on the Place de Verdun from May to September, on Thursdays from 5pm to 7pm

The black diamond is sold on the market every Sunday morning from 10am to 12pm from December to March so that all truffle lovers can buy a small quantity and enjoy it at least once a year. It is in a simple canvas bag that the truffle growers hide their precious and marvellous tubers, the price of which is fixed according to the national rate, before meeting in the local bistro to share the traditional pastis.

This secular market dates back to 1309. Its history is linked to the buildings built to shelter it. The area of the halles became too narrow to contain the merchants and stalls, overflow to invest the nearby squares. It runs all year round on Monday morning and hosts up to 150 exhibitors in the summer. There are regional products, fresh products, clothes, fabrics, and objects of all kinds…

In Grenoble language, the Estacade is the railway bridge that spans the Cours Jean Jaurès. This is where the city's largest market is held, along the Avenue de Vizille. It is therefore at the Estacade market that you can find the best products. The choice is vast, especially at weekends, and you should go to the very end of the market, after the crossing of rue Nicolas Chorier, to meet the small producers with impeccable products. In rainy, snowy or windy weather, you will appreciate being sheltered from the railway line, which passes just above. And then there are the little bistros around. Open from Tuesday to Sunday, the market par excellence in Grenoble.

The Place Albert Thomas market is highly appreciated by the people of Stephan in search of good products bought directly from the producers. Many restaurateurs also come here early on Saturday mornings to help themselves. A real reference in terms of quality! You will find fruits, vegetables, cheese and yoghurts, bread... The old varieties are in the spotlight on the square! If the Saturday morning market attracts the largest number of exhibitors and customers, the Friday market is also very interesting because of its specificity as an organic market exclusively. As for the Tuesday and Thursday markets, they allow you to stock up on provisions during the week! We are in favour!

Two markets in Crest, one on Tuesday, the other on Saturday which takes larger proportions. Many producers in the region are present, including good goat or plant cheeses.

Indispensable at weekends, unmissable during the week, Valferme is located on the other bank of the Rhône, a short distance from Ampuis. A gourmet stop held in association by some twenty producers who have been taking turns selling their products for over 20 years. You can come and do your shopping between the well-stocked shelves, while lovers of organic farming are not forgotten. Seasonal vegetables, bread, fruits, cheeses, sausages, honeys, nuts and by-products, but also poultry and, of course, wines from the region.

This is the Roannais' meeting place, especially on Sunday mornings. You will discover a multitude of local products under this covered market which has existed for more than three decades, salty or sweet version, both on the sea and land sides. The first fruits are there, the great chocolate maker Pralus too, the fishmongers, including Mr. Chavrier (best worker in France), seafood stands, cheese makers, such as Mr. Mons (other MOF), butchers, wines and spirits, a roaster... Your basket full, do not hesitate to stop by for a wine and/or oyster tasting or simply a good coffee. What happiness in perspective!

Every Wednesday and every Saturday morning, the halls and the fairground cover many stalls. Local artisans and producers compete with imagination to excite your taste buds. On Wednesday, it is one of the few markets in France where live poultry can be bought. On that day, food doubles from the market to clothing, shoes and other accessories, between fair field and downtown.

Annonay is particularly lively on market days, which bring together local producers and consumers from the region and elsewhere, locals and tourists alike. The Saturday market is the most important one, where you can stock up on seasonal fruits and vegetables, cold cuts and cheeses, some of which are organic, and even local crafts. You can enjoy filling your basket with good products and the friendly atmosphere of these country markets. Another smaller market is held on Wednesday mornings.

The largest food market in Lyon, along the banks of the Saône, where it is a pleasure to come on Sunday morning. The clientele is happily mixed, from all social classes. It must be said that the setting lends itself to it and that you can find everything with about fifty traders on weekdays and 121 traders on weekends: vegetables, fish, artisanal fruit juices, butchers, delicatessens (especially from the Ardèche), cheeses, flowers... Good idea: plan to withdraw cash the day before or in another place, because the district's distributors are overrun!

Market, every Thursday morning under the medieval hall.

This place is nicknamed "the little Marseille of Grenoble". It's up to you to find out why! Now, if there are good deals to be made, they are there. Sometimes "fallen from the truck" with incredible promotions on everything and sometimes anything. A word of advice: come early if you want to take advantage of them. Every morning, except on Mondays, a real Grenoble institution is held on the Place Saint-Bruno, a popular and colorful market in the heart of a district in full urban transformation. Food, but not only, with many "unpackings" and offers of all kinds. You either love it or you don't, but this market can't leave you indifferent.

Built in 1838 as Lyon's first indoor market, Les Halles de la Martinière used to house the stalls of local producers. After a long period of neglect, the Halles revived their past 7 years ago. Renovated, they are now home to an independent SCOP grocery store selling seasonal produce from local farms, a grocery store that makes sense for responsible and affordable consumption, favoring direct sourcing from organic or in-conversion organic producers. Fruits and vegetables, fresh produce, excellent cheeses, savory and sweet groceries, bulk products, as well as beverages, cosmetics and cleaning products. Regular events.

Place of crafts and art exhibitions, but also trade shows. Managed by the city, the hall hosts events all year round.

Every Friday afternoon, Place J.-J.-Rousseau (front of Mégaroyal cinema).

The Monday morning calf market is renowned throughout the region. The tradition of markets goes back to 1497, with the authorization given by Charles VIII to Count Jean de Saint-Symphorien to establish a market every Monday and 3 fairs per year (11 June, 29 September, 6 December). Since 1972, this market concerns calves from 8 days to 5 weeks old. The traders present are only allowed to enter the sales area after the whistle at 10am. By 10.15am, the sales are over and the farmers take their calves to the traders' trucks.
