They also have clothes (coats, shirts, socks), bedding, toys, stamps, books and jewelry. I'd recommend at least one visit a month to this market. Some vendors are nicer than others.

This market takes place on, you guessed it, Sundays, in the town of Mons…read more I come here at least monthly not particulary to shop but to relax, have a coffee in one of the cafes (or a beer outside) and read a book for a while. I do shop too. My last trip, a few days ago, I ended up buying a couple kilos of tomatoes and also a kilo of mixed olives. There is just so much - every kind of vegetable and lots of fruits and the prices are often crazy cheap. Sure you can go to a supermarket but you'll pay more in most cases. For the best selection of fruits and vegetables, you have to get to the far end of the market, in Place Nervienne. Also there and along the way, you can find some food trucks for burgers, some for Asian food and my favorite (which is a big truck), one to buy whole cooked chickens along with cooked potatoes and paella and other delicious already-cooked stuff. Another favorite stop is the very large book stall. They're all in French but I collect Hemingway books in other languages, so nice to occasionally find one. If you don't see what you want, the guy working there will write it down and try to find it for you for next time. You can also buy different cheese on some stalls, all kinds of meats from a few different butchers and even some tacky junk for a euro or less. The atmosphere is great and it is just fun wandering around.

It's the main market square in front of the Cloth Hall in Ieper (Ypres). The square itself may not…read morebe that impressive at first glance. It's the architecture of the buildings around it that make it appealing. You'll also see memorials such as the ones that commemorate French & Polish soldiers that died defending Ieper in WWI. You may even spot a bronze "Lost Key" embedded in a cobblestone while walking around the square. It's part of a public art installation memorializing civilians who lost their lives during the bombing. Our visit was on a Saturday. That's when the parking lot is turned into a farmer's market. This market has been a weekly tradition that dates back to medieval times. There were many people coming and going throughout our time there. Do be careful when walking across the streets near the square. The traffic flows freely around it. There were no pedestrian crosswalks while we there in May 2026. We did see cars and bikes whipping around blind corners without slowing down. Just something to be aware of as a pedestrian. We had lunch at the Dépot after our visit to the "In Flanders Fields" Museum. It was such a great meal. There were so many great food options to choose from when exploring the area. The Peter de Groote Chocolatier was a great last minute stop for chocolate before heading back to Zeebrugge. It was our first time visiting the Flemish side of Belgium. It turned out to be a very memorable experience. I totally recommend it to anyone interested in WWI history and Flemish culture.

In fact I wasn't sure whether this was a short term festival or whether this was something that was going on, at least for the summer. Come night the entire place filled with people and in fact it was pretty difficult trying to find a seat after grabbing something to eat. It was definitely an experience, though I didn't go as far as going on one of the rides.

You can find stuff from your head to toe like hats, shirts, sweaters, jackets, jogging pants, pants, boots and shoes, sneakers, some traditional clothing, even underwear and socks; they had it all. Aside from the clothing, I also loved the food section. They were selling fresh produce like vegetables and different kinds of olives. There were also some fruits like berries and bananas. But wait, they didn't stop there. They also had cooked food like rotisserie chicken (they're so yummy and not too expensive), some thai food, chinese food, cooked rice, ribs, oh my gosh I just want to buy all their food. It's definitely a place to check out.

Make sure to walk over the entire market to compare prices before buying something, as especially the stands further away from the street tend to have a better price/quality ratio.

There's something great…read moreabout waking up, walking down the street with a bag, and filling it up with fresh fruits and vegetables, choice cuts of meat, fresh-cut flowers, and so much more. If you're a tourist in Brussels the market is still a great stop because they have vendors serving up hot coffee, delicious croissants and baked goods, and even rotisserie chickens rotating before your eyes. You can also stock up on baguettes, cheese, meats, and fruit and make a nice park lunch later in the day. After the market, order a drink at Café Belga right across the place or grab a bench by the Ixelles Ponds and enjoy a lazy morning. The tram lines 81 and 71 also pass right through Flagey, so it's a nice jumping-off point to other parts of Brussels.
