This stunning market benefitted to great effect from a refit in 2017. A food market has been here since 1486 and it became covered in the 1880s. Today's arcaded building, with Apple and Nespresso stores tucked beneath its arches, dates to the late 20th century. Duck inside to uncover down-to-earth vendors selling fruit, veg, meat, poultry and exceptional cheeses.
A bevy of upmarket 'quick eat' counters cluster inside the market, making it a prime lunchtime spot: highlights include an Italian delicatessen, an oyster counter, and 'super food' boutique selling cold-pressed juices and homemade soups et al. To sit down, consider lunch at the city's most famous butcher, Hugo Desnoyer.
