Markets Les volcans d'Auvergne

Every Sunday, the people of Clermont-Ferrand meet at Place Gambetta - better known as Place des Salins - to bargain. The exhibitors, professionals and individuals, are there and the good deals are always present. Next to the market, there are also stalls selling fruit and vegetables, bread, cheese, meat and fish, as well as many ready-made dishes to enjoy at lunchtime. A real market worthy of the name! To exhibit, it is advisable to reserve 15 days in advance.

Since 1873, the Halle gourmande Saint-Pierre has been an institution, offering meats, fruit, vegetables, cheeses, Auvergne wines, ready-made meals and catering services... Large tables offer tastings of Auvergne, Spanish, Italian and Asian products, as well as ready-made meals from the market's merchants, including the Reines butcher's shop, Eo Viet'Street Foods, Klein d'Alsace, and Istrenn Tavarn oysters. Events and tastings are also organized from time to time.

In 2013 were born "Les samedis du terroir" in the historic district of Montferrand. Every first and third Saturday of the month, the Montferrand merchants' association organizes a food market with products from short circuits. About twenty producers are waiting for you between the place de la Fontaine and the rue Jules-Guesde. It's convenient because it's right next to the tramway line, which is free on weekends. A perfect opportunity to support the local economy!

Between Place Delille and the SNCF train station, under a ^19th century metal hall, protected as a historical monument, a pretty farmers' market is held. It is organized by the association La Jonquille. About thirty producers, farm or organic, sell their products directly every Friday morning: fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meats, delicatessen, cheeses, honeys, pastries, jams, syrups, wines, bread, oils, herbal teas... A friendly atmosphere and affordable prices, you would be really wrong not to come!

On Saturday mornings, as an extension of the Halle gourmande Saint-Pierre and the market that takes place around it, the Mazet market is the place to fill your fridge. All the way down the rue de la Boucherie, local producers offer fresh seasonal products and welcome passers-by with a smile. The shopping bags go from stand to stand, from producer to producer. We stroll in a pleasant atmosphere, especially on days when the sun is shining. A break on the terrace concludes this gustatory escapade.

From the Place de la Rodade (the former foirail) to the covered market hall of the Place Poly, stalls enliven the medieval heart of Montferrand every Friday morning, an ancient town renowned for its markets since the 12th century. Seasonal fruit and vegetables rub shoulders with regional cheeses, grilled chickens and other catering stalls. To complete the offer, there are also stalls selling clothes, bed linen and accessories of all kinds. You can take the time to talk to the producers and shopkeepers and observe to rediscover this beautiful historic district.
