My first marché in France!…read more It's small but it's literally up the escalators from the metro station, which is super convenient as you don't have to carry heavy things for too long. I had bought a kilo of potatoes from some old man who was clearly on his period and wasn't too enthusiastic selling me his stuff. I found one English-speaking vendor and I bought all my fruits and veggies from him, who was directly in front of "grumpy man". The face on grumpy man after he saw how much I bought was priceless! I then saw these beautiful plant vendors and as I learned quickly, French people love their plants! A couple of brothers were nice and sweet enough to recommend me a plant for my room. They suggested I'd buy lavender so my small room can smell great. Boy were they right! 2 months later, my plants are doing well and I love them so much!

The only reason this market gets four instead of five stars is that it is small. my husband and I…read moreare on sabbatical living within walking distance so Sunday we made our way here. It is small and sympa, very sweet. A few produce vendors, bread, meat, flowers, plants and random objects that could prove useful.... The vendors were very nice, the quality good, and we LOVED the vendor with olives, tapenades, nuts, dried fruit, etc. Can hardly wait to go back. I have found very mixed information about the schedule - various sources say Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Well I'm here to tell you, I have tried to go back both Tuesday and Thursday for the wonderful tomatoes (I have to make some salsa! I don't know if you can buy it anywhere here) and no market. Thankful it's close, so it was just a pleasant little walk with a disappointment at the end. Even our host told us it would be open Thursdays, so perhaps it's seasonal and they quit after the first of September or some such scenario.
