6 markets to explore
We love markets for their authenticity and friendly atmosphere. But most importantly, they are the perfect places to stock up on local, seasonal produce directly from the producers.
Explore a selection of six typical markets in Isère, each offering a unique atmosphere where tradition and flavour come together in harmony. Colourful stalls, fresh local produce and a warm ambiance await!
Halles Sainte-Claire
#01The most urban
In the heart of Grenoble, the Halles Sainte-Claire is the department’s only covered market, beautifully blending tradition and current trends. Housed in an understated, elegant building that stands on the site of a former convent, this historic monument invites visitors to explore its offerings.
With over 20 traders, the market showcases quality, primarily local produce, including delis, fishmongers, cheesemongers, excellent butchers and a food court.
Grenoble. Every day (except Monday)
La Mure
#02The oldest
This centuries-old market dates back to 1309.
Its history is closely linked to that of the Halles, which were built to house it. As the market area became too small to accommodate the merchants, stalls and animals, it spilled over into the neighbouring squares. The atmosphere is friendly, with over 70 stalls. You’ll find fresh produce, regional specialities, clothes, fabrics, objects of all kinds and plenty more.
Every Monday.
Vienne
#03The largest
An absolute must!
Every Saturday, Vienne town centre comes alive. Experience the second largest market in France, with over six kilometres of stalls and no fewer than 300 stands. You’ll find impeccably fresh fruit and vegetables, farmhouse goat’s cheeses, charcuterie, exotic produce and even bargains on clothes!
Every Saturday.
Crémieu
#04The best heritage
Every Wednesday morning, visit the 15th-century medieval market hall to meet the best local producers offering a delicious range of products, including foyesse (a brioche pastry topped with cream and sprinkled with sugar or butter), sabodet (a cooked sausage made from pig’s head and rind) and black turkey, as well as high-quality fruit, vegetables and meats.
Every Wednesday morning.
Mens
#05The most natural
Mens market is held every Wednesday in the Place de la Mairie and the Place du Dr Bonniot. You’ll find mainly organic produce, local products and handicrafts. Throughout the summer, this lively market hosts a variety of events.
Every Wednesday.
Entre-deux-Guiers
#06The most up-to-date
Every Friday late afternoon, the Entre-deux-Guiers market is held in the newly constructed market hall. This beautiful building with its streamlined architecture was built using wood from Chartreuse. Local craftsmen and producers sell their wares in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Every Friday afternoon.
