Marché des Dervallières runs twice a week in northwest Nantes, one of the city's most affordable markets and a strong one for world-food stalls.
Tip: Saturday is the fuller edition; prices here undercut the centre by a clear margin.
Bottière Chénaie holds an evening market every Wednesday in east Nantes, its producers selling into the after-work crowd from 16:00 onwards.
Tip: One of the few Nantes markets you can hit after work; stalls skew towards direct-from-farm producers.
The Malakoff market gathers on Place Rosa Parks behind the station in Nantes on Thursday mornings, serving the Pré-Gauchet towers cheaply and well.

Marché de Toutes-Aides is the Wednesday morning market of the Saint-Donatien side of Nantes, compact and quick to walk on Place Victor Basch.
Tip: Small but efficient; combine with Doulon's Sunday market if you are staying east of the centre for a week.
Marché de Talensac is the grand covered market of Nantes, its hall filled with fishmongers, cheese affineurs and producers six mornings a week.

Marché de la Petite Hollande spreads hundreds of traders across its Loire-side square each Saturday, the biggest open-air market Nantes runs.
Tip: It sits between Place du Commerce and the river, so pair it with the Île Feydeau follies; parking is impossible, take the tram.
