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!

Held every Sunday in the beautiful medieval town of Issigeac, this is a typical Perigord market…read morewith lots of shopping options, including food. It stretches throughout the old city center - centre ville and, curves through the laneways of this beautiful town. I have always loved the markets around France and this one is special as it's historic and there is about 200 vendors or more there. You get everything from fashion to food. A handful of people selling local fresh produce, truffles, foie gras and lots of cooked food like cakes and BBQ meats. Go early as it got really busy after 11am. Until then it was nice and quiet and the stalls were letting you sample all their foods. The highlight for me was the oyster man - 6 oysters for €5 and they were huge. I just stood there at the shop and ate them :-) lots of people were amused :-) The heirloom tomatoes I bought here were some of the sweetest I have ever tasted....yummmm, not to mention the figs stuffed with foie gras, unbelievable ;-)) I would come here in a heartbeat. It's a gorgeous market in beautiful settings.

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 :)
