Fodor's Expert Review Halles Sainte-Claire

Built in 1874 after the famous Les Halles in Paris (which was infamously destroyed in the early 1970s), this soaring glass and cast iron structure serves as Grenoble's bustling central market, where you can stock up on all the ingredients for a picnic or a fine French meal, along with prepared Italian and Asian specialties. The covered market is open Tuesday through Sunday until 7 pm (it's closed at lunchtime) with an outdoor farmers' market Tuesday through Friday mornings.
