Nice selection of fruits and vegetables, cheeses, meats, etc. from various local farmers and sellers. They set up small stands or drive their "store window" flatbed trucks directly into the square. I've found some unusual dried sausages and local cheeses. Prices can be a little higher than local supermarkets, but I think that's the price one pays for freshness and local production. The market is also quite the social event, as much for neighbors to meet as for buying local produce.

It winds through a few of the pedestrian streets in the old city center, from Place de la République to the "Marché Couvert" (covered market) building. Nothing exceptional in terms of price or selection, but I did find a few local cheeses (cantal, St. Nectaire) made in the region, and some nice strawberries during late July. Opened Saturday morning, only. Sellers begin to break down their wagons & tents around noon.

Very fresh, clean store, and selections you cannot find anywhere else in Correze or Creuse Departments. The owner explained the store format: It's like 3 "markets" in one -- cheese; meat; fruits and vegetables -- each having it's own boss, but united under 1 roof. At check-out, you (the shopper) won't notice the difference. It operates like one food store. In particular, considering the very mundane and predictable selections available in local area supermarkets or farmer's markets, Provenc'Halles is rather amazing. Quality and freshness of the produce is excellent, as are the prices. Very nice cheese selections from France and outside France (it's nice to have a break from local St. Nectaire and Contal varieties). On a recent look through the meat department, we found all the essentials and even turkey, which the butcher was happy to cube up for us to make our own kebabs. I hope the cleanliness and nice selections are clear from the photos I attach. It really is a stand-out store for the area. I didn't check the store hours, but my most recent receipt shows opening times of 6h-19h30. Not sure if that's every day. They don't have a website (I asked). Accepts credit cards.
