The Sébastopol market in Lille runs Wednesday and Saturday mornings, with an oyster bar, an organic bakery and Italian and Asian counters among the produce.
Tip: Saturday is the better of the two days. The oyster bar is the reason to arrive hungry.
The Tuesday market on Rue Saint-Sauveur in Lille runs between Rue Gustave Delory and Avenue Kennedy, with Italian and Caribbean stalls among the produce.
Tip: One morning a week only. It is the market to catch if you are staying near the Porte de Paris.
The book market fills the inner courtyard of the Vieille Bourse on the Grand-Place in Lille every afternoon from Tuesday to Sunday, under the arcades.
Tip: The city publishes days but not clock times for this one. Afternoons are the safe bet.
The Saturday market on Place Saint-Charles serves the Bois-Blancs island quarter of Lille, a small produce and flower market away from the centre.
Tip: Saturday only, and it is over by 14:00. Combine it with a walk along the Deûle.
The Sunday market on Place Madeleine Caulier in Fives runs around forty stalls of food, flowers and household goods with Asian and Maghrebi counters.
Tip: It is the east-side alternative to Wazemmes on a Sunday, and it is considerably less crowded than Wazemmes.
The Tuesday afternoon market on Place Degeyter in Fives is a small regional and artisanal one, produce, meat and confectionery from 15:00 to 19:00.
Tip: An afternoon market rather than a morning one, which makes it useful if you cannot do 07:00.
