MoulinsWed 15:00-19:00
The Wednesday afternoon market on Place Vanhoenacker in Moulins gathers local and organic producers, bulk groceries, an apiary stall and Asian takeaway.
Tip: Afternoon trading from 15:00, which suits anyone who cannot face a 07:00 market.
FivesWed 07:00-14:00
The Wednesday market on the church forecourt at Saint-Maurice Pellevoisin in Lille is a neighbourhood food market at the corner of Rue A. Leroy.
Tip: Wednesday morning only, on the forecourt rather than a square.
WazemmesWed 13:00-17:00
The Wednesday market at the Ferme urbaine Concorde in Lille sells what the urban farm itself grows, straight off the plot in the Faubourg de Béthune.
Tip: This is the farm's own stall rather than a trading market, and it runs Wednesday afternoons only.
WazemmesTue and Thu 07:00-13:00; Sun 07:00-14:00
The Wazemmes market fills Place Nouvelle Aventure in Lille three days a week, and on Sunday around 400 stalls turn it into the busiest morning in the city.
Tip: Sunday is the big one and it starts at 07:00. Go early, then eat at the covered hall next door.
WazemmesTue-Sat 08:00-20:00; Sun 08:00-15:00; closed Monday
The Halles de Wazemmes in Lille hold 25 permanent traders under one roof, butchers, cheesemongers and fishmongers alongside Asian and Middle Eastern counters.
Tip: The hall keeps going until 20:00 on weekdays, long after the outdoor market has packed up.
Vieux-LilleWed, Fri and Sun 07:00-14:00
The Place du Concert market is the Vieux-Lille one, three mornings a week of organic and regional produce with Asian and North African stalls between them.
Tip: Sunday morning here is calmer than Wazemmes and a short walk from the estaminets on Rue de Gand.
