This Sunday market has the best of fresh food and drink from all around the region - cheese, fruit,…read morefresh baked bread, vegetables, wine, meat and fish - and a huge range of non-food items as well. It is located throughout the town centre, and walking around it takes at least an hour without stopping to buy anything. Park by the Aveyron and cross the bridge into town and you can't miss the start of the market. It spreads throughout the town, with only a tiny fraction located in the market hall itself, and despite the number of small dogs and pushchairs around it's fairly easy to navigate, although you may have to push a little to get near the most popular stalls. Many stallholders speak a little English (or are ex-pats) but all appreciate it if you make an attempt to order in French first!

This is a dream market that I want to live nearby. There is…read moreeverything here. Fresh fruits, fresh vegetables outside, and inside there are too many stores to list that sell breads, cakes, cheeses ( I have never seen so much cheese in my life!!), meats of all kinds, beef, pork, lamb, fish, ..... and cooked food!!! No need to restaurants deliveries, there is everything here if you don't want to cook. But I am just a tourist.....

This market has an amazing selection of foods. They have meats, pastries, desserts, seafood,…read morefruit/veg - whatever the heart desires. Americans will be shocked by the diversity of meat there (they have duck heads/rabbit/horse meat). We recommend taking a food tour like Taste of Toulouse to fully take in the best foods they have to offer! The staff are all very friendly and accommodating. If you want to eat at the restaurants upstairs, make sure you arrive early (~11:45 am) so you can get an outside seat. Bonne dégustation :)

While Marché St Cyprien is the smallest of the 3 Toulousian markets and is decidedly limited in its…read moreproduct offerings, I have to say that my shopping experience was enjoyable - the sellers were knowledgeable, passionate about their products, and completely charming. I think the key thing to note for first-timers is that this is a (very) small market, but what they lack in size, they make up for in quality! When I was there, I picked up two of the strongest local cheeses (one sheep's cheese, one cow's cheese), along with the local duck foie gras which is prepared with salt + pepper only. The prices seem to be reasonable, in fact quite reasonable, for locally-grown and crafted products. I didn't get to pick up any fruit/veggies today, though expect to pick some up in a couple of days. So happy to support local producers and businesses - it's a much more pleasant and authentic experience than going to the Carrefour or Casino Marché!
