This weekly market gathers a plethora of vendors every Sunday in Montpelier's Peyrou Park. Items on sale are rather varied, and include anything and everything from textiles to books to jewelry. Many are authentic French pieces dating back to the mid- to late 20th century.
Shopping
Rue de la Loge is Montpellier's ultimate High Street, and the post-modern Polygone galleria just east of Place de la Comédie is three-storey open-air mall full of everything from designer fashions to deli foods. Halles Laissac (currently under reconstruction) and Halles Castellane are two good covered food markets next to each other on rue Anatole France by Place Jean Jaurés. Obligatory purchases include cheese, olives, and regional wines.
