Marché Saint-Antoine

Situated on the banks of the Saône, beneath the spectacular Basilica de Fourvière, the Marché Saint-Antoine is one of Lyon’s premier food markets. Open throughout the week – except Mondays – the market is great for grocery shopping and watching the world go by. Though usually quieter on weekdays, the market builds to a crescendo on the weekend turning it into one of the city’s most popular spots with cafes and bars punctuating the busy thoroughfare. Most of the produce is local with an emphasis on quality following on from a tradition of goods arriving by boat along the river before being displayed quayside for hungry punters.
