The best market and one of the highlights of all the many cities we visited in France on our trip…read more This is a true farmers market... amazing fruits, cheeses, and prepared foods. We bought wonderful cherries (it was cherry season), cheeses, and rotisserie chicken with crispy potatoes dipped in chicken fat. Great memories. Don't miss it if you're visiting Lyon...

A real authentic French market and not as expensive as some of the others in Lyon. Worth visiting…read moreone Sunday morning. And then pop over to the Bisrot du Boulevard at 57 Blvd de la XRousse for a great brunch.

Lovely farmers market next to the Saône river…read more Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, but also cured meats, cheeses and some prepared food, mostly at very fair prices. A really nice stroll in the morning. We went back twice.

Never mind Les Halles de Paul Bocuse…read more This is THE great gourmet market in Lyon. It is a massive massive street market on the banks of the Saone. Being on the river, it is as scenic as can possibly be imagined. The market goes on and on and on and on and on. Every kind of meat, every kind of fish, every kind of shellfish, every kind of vegetable, every kind of fruit, every kind of cheese, every kind of bread, every kind of pastry, every kind of spice, every kind of charcuterie, every kind of artisanal prepared food, Any thing you can think of in French cuisine: It's all here at the Marche Saint-Antoine. And they have it at multiple stalls - so you can pick and choose which vendor you like. Want to make pigeon stuffed with quince? They have the pigeon. They have the quince. Do you want fromage blanc made on the Savoyard model rather than following the Lyonnaise model? You have that option and six other choices as well. Have a French cookbook you read but can't use, since you can't find about a third of the ingredients? All those ingredients are at the Marche Saint-Antoine. The prices are very very reasonable.

Oh la, la! This is a compact American Target store with a market in a two story building…read more Everything is in French. Customers are rushing around, clerks are all over the place but they can't help because they are new at work or they can't speak English. The place is like a beehive with self- check. Great place to get French food items or minimalist style /city style clothing. Prices are reasonable. They sell home, garden supplies too. They do not sell pharmacy items like aspirin or cough lozenges. Everything is French produced here. Superb place to purchase France's food souvenirs to take home. Reasonable prices.
