In Countries like the Uk and the USA, the market is largely a tradition that has been revived, in the the form of farmers markets; in France, the tradition did not need to be revived, as traditional fruit and vegetables markets, as well as markets offering a much wider array of stalls, Have always remained a part of life in France.

The Market, as a source of fresh fruits and vegetables, is an integral part of France’s famed tradition of good eating, and is one of those French traditions that never died.

And for the reason it is as authentic an experience as one can wish to find.

Most Towns and Large villages have a large market once a week; but in larger towns markets may take place twice a week, or even everyday.

Typical French markets are a mix between the farmers’ markets and traders’ market, with stalls offering local produce straight from the farm standing alongside fruits and vegetables stalls, cheese stalls and other stalls offering a full range of produce.

Even in Paris, fruit and vegetables markets can be found in every district of the city.

The largest markets in provincial France are often known as fairs (foires) : as in the olden days, French fairs are traditional extended markets that take place perhaps once or twice a year, on local saint’s day for instance.

In a few places, they take place once a month.

Most of them used to be livestock markets, but that aspect of them has largely disappeared; today they are expanded versions of large weekly markets that attract more traders from a wider area; there will usually be an electric and colorful array of ironmongers, clothes stalls, large organic produce stalls, craft stalls, plus the normal range fruit and vegetables sellers and much more.

In rural areas, there is often a small funfair too.

Foires are big events in a local calendar, and it is always a good idea to check with the local tourist office to find out when they take place.

Virtually every French town has its covered market ( marché couvert), which is a permanent structure, occupied by an array of market stalls; in a classic “marché couvert sometimes called “Les halles”, most of the stalls will sell fresh fruits and vegetables, and some of the stall-holders will also be local market-gardeners, selling their own produce among other products imported from further afield.

There is often a cluster of good restaurants to be found close to the covered market in a French town, and chefs will each morning pay a visit and bring back boxes of freshest fruits and vegetables.

Other stalls are likely to include butchers, bakers, and delicatessens offering specialities from other countries such a Vietnam, Spain, or Italy.

In Paris, fruits and vegetables markets spring up on pavements under the trees besides wide boulevards on different days of the week, often on Saturday or Sunday morning.

Olives on a Provence market large weekly markets are attended both by local

stall-holders, and by a range of specialized traders who will set up their stall on a different market each day of the week.

Very often, the larger towns in an area will have its weekly market on Saturday’s, and smaller towns will have theirs on other days; in these smaller markets, the number of itinerant stall-holders will depend on the number of the markets on the same day within their area, and the relatives interest of each of these markets.

Thanks to these itinerant stall-holders, larger weekly markets have a rich range of specialized stalls, offering organic vegetables, food specialities from the region or from other countries, Olives and Mediterranean specialties, tools, clothes, second-hand books, garden plants, wine straight from the producer, honey and a lot more.

A few markets, notably specialized markets, have acquired a national reputation; there is the famous flea market at the Porte de clignancourt in Paris, the flower market in nice, the Christmas markets in Strasbourg, the olive markets in Provence (photo), or the fish market round the old part in Marseilles.

There are wine markets in Bordeaux, and famous gastronomic markets in perigueux, the heart of French truffle and foie-grass country.

But generally speaking, markets are a local or regional event, attended by local producers, craftsmen or traders, and as such they are not the type of event that has any reason to acquire a national reputation; markets are just a part of the French way of living.

Becoming a Lifelong Learner



Learning a language opens doors to a world of opportunity. Of course, in order to really benefit from your studies, you’ll need to do more than just complete assignments. You’ll need to set habits that will tie you to French and its cultures even beyond the classroom. Students who become lifelong learners of French have some basic characteristics and habits that you should develop if you want to get the most from your experience learning French Here are some of them:

Lifelong learners:

Have friends with whom they regularly converse in the target language. (This could be friends in school, neighbors or friends in the community.)
Regularly get information from target language sources (newspapers, magazines, Internet French related news group (with parent’s approval), TV programs, radio, etc. that are produced by and for native speakers.)
Participate in activities of the target culture (celebrating holidays, seeing movies or plays of/in the target culture, preparing or eating dishes from the target culture, reading books or magazines from the target culture, etc.)
Someone who has developed these habits is on the way to becoming a lifelong learner. These types of habits reinforce a strong connection to the language and culture and develop a love and better understanding of that culture.

Think for a minute about the resources available. Do you have friends who are native French speakers? Do you ever watch French channels on television? You can probably think of several online sources. Maybe you have some stores or restaurants in your community that are run or frequented by French speakers. Also think about when you could do this on a regular basis—remember that it’s setting the habits that will make the most difference.

Using the table below as a guideline, write what you plan to do. For the Language or Culture Resources column, try to identify three different resources: 1. A friend or contact 2. An information source, and 3. A cultural activity. In the What I Will Do column, describe as specifically as you can what you will do. And in the When I Will Do It column, write when you plan on doing these activities. See the sample below to see how you might fill out your own table.

You will have opportunities to follow up and report on your regular practice of engaging French resources close to home. You will be asked in a follow up assignment to report on what you have done.

If you are still unsure where to begin, ask your teacher for additional ideas that can help get you started. Regardless of how you go about making your French cultural connection, be sure to make a plan and to think about a longer-term strategy for getting the most from your time with your chosen resources.
