And the indoor shops are bustling with activity. Fresh seasonal produce galore makes the trip a feast for the stomach and the eyes. On our first trip there, we acquainted ourselves with a few favorites...

Check out the market bags at Le Vrac du Marché. There are also three cheese shops, lots more butchers, and Les Douceurs du Marché - an incredible specialty food shop that we enjoyed so much we forgot to take photos.

Marché Atwater is open year-round inside of its landmark building that was once a train station. During the warmer months, produce, plantings, and flowers take over outdoors, too. We're looking forward to many more trips in the seasons to come.
