Looking for fresh, local produce while in Lyon? Why not enjoy the atmosphere of the market at Jean Macé on Wednesday or Saturday morning?

The place to discover a vast array of fresh produce, the farmer's market at Jean Macé is a vibrant hub of vendors easily accessible by tram, on foot, or the metro. The metro station is right in the heart of the square, so there's no excuse to avoid visiting the market!

Market days are Wednesdays and Saturday mornings, where the square transforms into a colourful, buzzing circus of people and produce. At the market, you can find your typical, locally-sourced fruits and vegetables; but you can also find so much more. The vendors are often friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their products, so it's a great opportunity to learn more about the foods you are eating; how they are grown; and to ask for tips on the best way to grow or cook them yourself.

There are plenty more food stalls aside from the fresh groceries - selling anything from fresh bread, speciality cheeses, fish, meats, and confectioneries. You'll surely not leave the market feeling hungry, as there is something to be discovered for all appetites.

If, by any chance, you were not looking to buy any food - there are numerous vendors around the market selling clothes, jewellery, books, vintage records, and more - so you can be sure that a trip to the market would be worth your while no matter what you intend to buy.

If all that browsing and shopping wears you out, this market offers food stalls and even a street café, giving you the perfect excuse to enjoy a coffee before heading back home with your new goods.
