Marché Couvert de Metz
Marché couvert
An indoor market housed in an 18th-century building that was originally the bishop's palace, offering Lorraine cheese, cured meats, and Mirabelle plums.
The covered market stands right beside the north side of the cathedral. The building was originally a bishop's palace built before the French Revolution, and it was later turned into a market. It is one of the oldest covered markets in France. Stalls sell Lorraine cheese, savory Lorraine tarts, smoked meats and sausages, and the local specialty, Mirabelle yellow plums. The most famous stall serves freshly made Lorraine soup and sandwiches, and it draws long lines at lunchtime. It is open roughly from 7:00 to 19:00, Tuesday through Saturday.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat 07:00–19:00
