Wazemmes Market
Marché de Wazemmes
Lille's liveliest everyday market, with a red-brick indoor hall and a big Sunday open-air market, offering a taste of street life in northern France.
Wazemmes is known for its diverse communities and down-to-earth atmosphere. The red-brick indoor market hall on Place Nouvelle, the Halles de Wazemmes, is open Tuesday to Sunday and sells cheese, prepared foods, seafood and North African spices. On Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings, the surrounding streets fill with open-air stalls, busiest on Sundays, and street musicians perform too. Try Maroilles cheese, roast chicken and mint tea. Take metro Gambetta station, and keep an eye on your belongings.
