Notre-Dame Market

Love the market, great, fresh produce. But walk around, as there are really large price gaps between stands, for similar products. So whenever you come to Versailles, visit the market, but try to be early

Oh my goodness! This market is a dream for anyone. Whether you are a tourist, a chef, or anyone just passing by, the market is crazy to visit. They have many shops selling meats, cheeses, vegetables, desserts, and fish. The indoor stalls are arranged around a ring of buildings, so it's easy to walk around. I, especially, thought the dessert shop was mouthwatering. It's a shame I didn't get a chance to try the desserts. Next time...

Had fresh yummy crepes here in the inside shops. Fresh ingredients from other stores, like smoked salmon.... Stall owner does not speak English but has English menu for ordering. Friendly and recommended to try it.

Amazing market in Versailles! Lots of fresh produce and other products. Definitely worth a stop if you are visiting Versailles.

Second largest market in France but the best in my opinion. Plenty of delicious fruit, veg, cheeses, cooked and raw meats. Increasing provision of organic foods. Come first thing of a Sunday morning for the best effect!

Super lively and can get really good deals!! Market for was great and so were the surrounding cafes - some even allow you to buy food in the market and eat it in their cafe.

We love the markets in France. A place to go and get fresh foods on a daily basis. Each day we would walk down to pick up that nights meal and the following morning breakfast. Thee Notre-Dame Market is larger and a bit more commercial than the smaller markets in the small towns, but the essence of the place is the same and the selections of foods is incredible.

Hey if you are near Versailles this is the place to go for food and an authentic French market experience. I would give it 5 stars, but they don't have bathrooms. If you need to go to the bathroom, you'll need to go inside a restaurant. As you may know, it's disrespectful to use a restarsunt's bathroom without buying something. Your best bet is the Burger King, but please don't eat a whole meal there. You don't come all the way to France to eat at Burger King! Instead try something from one of the many delis or other shops in the market.

We came on a Sunday morning, so the market was in full force (until 1pm). It was full of people including lots of locals. We got cheeses, baguettes, charcuterie, honey, fruit, butter, wine, pate, and a rotisserie chicken for a picnic. Pro tip: they can chop up the chicken for you. Some vendors do take credit card, but come with cash.

All I can say is AMAASAZING! The fresh take away salads make the perfect picnic basket for Versailles. They have wines and cheeses too!

The produce portion of Versailles' very large food market is impressive, on par with La Boqueria in Barcelona. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any sit-down or countertop restaurants, or it would be dang near perfect. If you're heading to Chateau Versailles, make sure you go on a day that the Marche Notre-Dame is in service. If you can make it to the Chateau early enough, head there first to avoid the lines, then go to the market around lunchtime to pick up a fantastic picnic assortment. If you're feeling up to it, high tail it back over to the Chateau, go to the right side of the gardens, pick up a bike, and have your picnic somewhere secluded and incredibly enjoyable. The walk between the Chateau and market is around 15-20 minutes. If you're like us, you probably didn't make it into Versailles until lunchtime, at which case you'll have to brave the crowds after eating the market food. Fresh produce rules here, and fruits and vegetables abound. Within the halles, there are boucheries and fish mongers ready to hawk their goods. For a hearty meal, the best bet is to pick up a poulet roti from one of the many vendors around. There's also available sides at these places; I suggest finding the one that serves the amazing spicy stewed potatoes. And don't forget the essentials: pain, vin, fromage (bread, wine, cheese) to round out the meal. I guarantee a good time here or your money back.

Wonderful Market! This market has just about everything anybody could want. Even if you have nothing on your shopping list, it is a pleasure to just wander through all the stands to see the sights and smell the aromas.

My roommate and I came here every weekend when we were exchange students at Versailles. I came here again with my wife and visiting brought back wonderful memories. The vendors yell out deals as the market closes, often pretty attractive ones. Like all French open markets, this one has great cheese and cooked food. We bought some excellently spiced chorizo sausage here, which unfortunately we did not buy more. Not as large as the one at Bastille, but on par at least, if not better (less touristy).

Very nice place in the market square to pick up picnic lunch to have for lunch while in the Palace of Versailles.
