Les Halles Market

Category: Public Food Market. We love visiting public food markets and have strolled many market aisles in many cities and countries. Some food markets have transformed into food halls, like Mercado San Miquel in Madrid (one of my favorite places in the world). Some markets that once sold food now sell mostly clothes and trinkets. We shared a freshly baked Pain au Chocolate as we strolled among this market’s stalls. I’m happy to report that the Les Halles Dijon market is still mostly traditional, selling uncooked food, with many butchers, fishmongers, cheese mongers, olive merchants, wine merchants, Boulangers, and Patissiers plying their wares in this 19th Century cast iron Victorian-style building. There was probably more cheese than anything else. No surprise there. There was a little prepared food and also a wine bar, which was surprisingly busy during our morning visit.

A must for the gourmet. Great selection, not always the cheapest, but good quality goods of fish, meat, poultry, offal, cheese and so on and friendly, professional market vendors. Stay for a good wine aside fresh purchased huîtres

A fantastic variety of fresh mests and vegetables. Plus a good variety of chacuterie products which we bought. It was a wonderful experience to buy food and sit at the Cafe with a fabulous coffee and eat it. Has to be a must for a visit. The people tolerate us tourists well. We had good times joking with the locals too.

Do you love markets ? I sure do, and this one is excellent. It offers any number of meats, cheeses, sea food and so many other delicious choices.

Not all stalls were open on a Thursday so might be better to go on a Saturday. Still plenty of local food to buy!

Very nice market. Everything from farmer…meats , cheeses, vegetables, fruits, wines, and fish. 19th C glass and steel building. Walk take the T1 or T2 tram to the Godrons les Halles stop. Or get within a couple of blocks on the free City Electric bus. Have fun!

Delicious food, fresh vegetables and fruits. I strongly recommend visiting there to see the local culture.

Beautiful market in a structure designed by Eiffel, showcasing produce, seafood, meat, poultry and bread.

Love this place! If you can't find it here, you don't want to eat it. Seafood, bread, meats and cheeses. On Friday and Saturday there are other vendors outside the food hall.

Fantastic Les Halles! Very large, very clean. Most all of the produce is in the center and lots butchers on the sides. Wish there were a few more Boulangerie but otherwise a fantastic and fresh market. It is usually closed by 12 during the week but that is pretty typical.
