"Lovely covered market. Reminds me of the mercados in Madrid Spain. I especially like madame Pauline at the agriculture bio stand. Bonus that it's open Sunday. Lots of other stalls and stands.
I find prices are definitely on the higher side especially the fruit and vegetable stand across from Agri Bio compared to the weekly marche held outside during Christmas season that is usually at jean jaure square Friday and Saturday morning."
