Markets Midi-Pyrénées

Wednesday and Saturday mornings. To see, in summer, beautiful flower stands.

Completely renovated in 2020, Les Halles bring the town centre of Cahors to life. It is the ideal place for those who wish to buy fresh produce every day of the year in a friendly atmosphere: primeurs, spices, pizzas, meats, charcuteries, fish, cheeses, wines, breads, delicatessen, pastries, wines and regional products... It is here that the heart of Cahors beats daily to the rhythm of fresh produce and the seasons. Les Halles is worth the detour for the atmosphere, the abundance and the quality of its products.

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.

In a good mountain village, Saint-Lary-Soulan lives in the rhythm of snow and the pleasures of riding it. If, all year round, the weekly market takes place at the foot of the cable car, as soon as the ski season starts, it moves parking Ardoune! Whatever its framework, it is really nice with every Saturday, every Saturday, traders, customers and visitors who find themselves in a joyful atmosphere. The social and cultural link is strong between the stalls. A real institution, the meeting is very focused on food and producers are many: fruit and vegetables, sausages, honey, mountain cheeses, and many other regional products await you. We don't come here just to go shopping: in front of colourful stands, small clusters of people debate the latest news from the village, discuss weather… Human contact is important. The inhabitants of Saint-Lary are very faithful and smiling, the market is unavoidable and, in summer, we love the night appointments that enrich it, on Monday in Pla d'Adet and on Wednesday in the village.

After 6 years of work, Les Halles de la Cartoucheries will open in September 2023 in the 14,000 square meters of rehabilitated former GIAT factories.

There are traditional market shops, street and world cuisine, a grocery store and a cooking school.

Ax-les-Thermes is fortunate to have three markets in high season, from 7am to 1pm, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, and two in low season, on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

You'll be able to stock up on fruit, vegetables, meats, cold meats and cheeses, as well as local honeys, clothes, ready-made meals...

It is a tradition, all year round, Montcuq comes alive around the gourmet stalls of its very friendly Sunday market, renowned and ranked among the 100 most beautiful markets in France. More than a hundred local producers meet there. In summer, the market is assisted by the local producers' market on Thursday mornings, in the shade of the chestnut trees along the promenade. You will find many typical products of the region: honey, wine, goat's cheese... The village has three car parks on the outskirts so that you can park easily.

The covered market of the Place Nationale is a market of retailers where you will find what you need to fill your basket: butchers, pork butchers, poulterers, fishmongers, cheesemongers, caterers, greengrocers and florists.

The basket cannot remain empty because the specialities remain unavoidable.

During the summer months, in July and August, the shopkeepers' association "Vis ta Lomagne" offers gourmet markets from 7pm onwards to help you discover their products in a folkloric and regional atmosphere.

On Wednesday mornings, on the Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville, the atmosphere is one of bargaining and good food bargains. A must for local producers, this market is a beautiful showcase of local produce where fruits, vegetables, pastries, cheeses and cold cuts quickly fill the basket. Resellers are also present, as well as various hawkers offering clothes and fashion accessories. In summer, musical animations animate the market, which moves to the edge of the lake during the festival Jazz in Marciac.

Every Thursday and Saturday morning, producers, traders and shoppers set up shop in the Saint-Clar market hall. People come from the surrounding hamlets and villages to stock up on fresh produce: vegetables, fruit, poultry... In summer, the procession of hawkers joins the battalion of producers.

Producers of Lomagne white garlic show off their braids of garlic heads, to take home as souvenirs.

Monday and Saturday.

The market is held twice a week. The Rue des Thermes is pedestrianized on Wednesday mornings in Barbotan, while the Place de l'Eglise is taken over by producers on Friday mornings in Cazaubon. An open-air market, it's mainly devoted to food, but you'll also come across a few producers of armagnac and micro-production beers. The region's flagship products abound on the stalls, including the inevitable foie gras, but also delicious organic farmhouse cheeses. Lovers of fine produce won't want to miss these events!

For more than 10 centuries, the farmers of Revel have been setting up their stalls in the beautiful Revel market hall to sell their local products directly: charcuterie, fruit and vegetables, meat from the Lauragais farms... There are nearly 300 of them! And in the great tradition of the southwest, from November to March, the market becomes "fat". That is to say that you will find plump geese and ducks to prepare your confits and cassoulets! Don't miss to visit it, this market is classified among the 100 most beautiful markets of France.

Two markets animate the city of Muret. The most important one occupies the whole city center on Saturday morning. It brings together more than one hundred and twenty merchants and producers from all over the Muret area, to the delight of visitors, as you can find all the local products. Various parking lots allow you to park your car. The smart idea: a shuttle can also take you there if you are not motorized. More modest, the second market remains nevertheless lively since it welcomes about sixty merchants in the square Maïmat, on Tuesday morning.

The Cahors market has been taking place at the foot of the sublime Saint-Etienne cathedral for 700 years and in all weathers! When you arrive, you will see the multicolored stalls filled with delicacies, from traditional merchants (butchers, pork butchers, greengrocers, fishmongers...) to local producers (Rocamadour cheese, duck producers and Cahors wines....). But above all, it is the atmosphere of the South that prevails: family, friendly and authentic, you will have the opportunity to exchange with the producers to learn more about their products!

In the heart of the Vallon, just 20 minutes from Rodez, a small village also organizes its night market of local producers! An event that has become very popular over the years, where locals and visitors come together for a convivial evening of local produce and festive music. Fill your baskets, but above all enjoy the local produce served directly to your plate by the producers on large tables.

Friday mornings are a hive of activity on Rue Nationale, the artery running through the town from one end to the other. Merchants take over the street, and you'll find everything from local produce and clothing to upholsterers, plants, carpets and mattresses... In summer, the market expands, joined by street hawkers to meet tourist demand. On Sunday mornings, local producers take over the cathedral square. These include the famous Lectoure melon. The flea market and garage sale calendar is online.

At the foot of the cathedral and around the "Halle aux Herbes", one of the most beautiful markets of the department gives you an appointment on Saturday morning. Producers from all over the region come to share the fruit of their labor and their know-how. Scents, colors and flavors never fail to seduce those who come to stroll there. On Thursday mornings, it is at the Halle Verdier and on the banks of the Gers that you should go. On Tuesday mornings, the small market of Garros animates the Place de la Fontaine with its organic producers, also present on Wednesday afternoon.

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.

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.

There are two weekly markets in the shade of the large plane trees in the heart of Nogaro: the small food market on Wednesday mornings, where regular customers come to buy fruit, vegetables, cheese and meat, and the traditional Saturday market, where food products are joined by many other items: clothes, local specialities... In a beautiful atmosphere, you'll have the opportunity to stroll between the stalls to stock up or find a few souvenirs to take home.

At the Valence-sur-Baïse market, you can choose, negotiate and buy the best of Gers flavors in a friendly atmosphere.

From April to October, the market goes even longer, with 100% organic producers on hand from 5pm to 8pm.

These covered halls are always full: the clock market, which takes place every Monday, attracts a large crowd, as does the flea market, every second Sunday of the month. Or the annual events: Easter cattle competition, poultry exhibition, Arbre Expo... Since 2020, these halls built in the 1980s, a true symbol of the city, are covered with photovoltaic panels to produce green electricity.

In summer, the local producers' market takes place in the village every Wednesday from 6pm onwards and offers numerous activities until sunset. The inhabitants, joined by the horde of holidaymakers who come to enjoy fishing and water sports on the lakes of Lévézou, like to stroll around and taste fruits and vegetables, delicatessen, sheep meat, aligot, farçous, walnut oil, cheeses, honey, wine... In short, everything that makes Aveyron!

You can meet the inhabitants of the village, but also those of the whole Vallon, joined by the many tourists who come to the area in fine weather. The market of Marcillac is the unavoidable appointment of Sunday mornings. People come to stock up on good produce, but also to pick up bread, fouace and Marcillac sunshine from the stalls, have a drink with friends, or simply stroll around in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Tuesday in July and August.
