Local farmers bring their very own vegetables, fruits, cheeses, oils, herbs, meats, and flowers to Place Carnot near the Perrache train station every Wednesday evening. The people of Lyon have a great passion for quality food and enjoy supporting their local farmers. The products at this market are some of the very best and have decent prices as well. This picture is a whole chicken with the head, which may seem a bit unconventional; however, the French often make a dish called “Poule au Pot, which requires a whole chicken. This market is not only a wonderful example of the diversity and quality of foods Lyon has to offer, but of how the people of this city support the farmers in their community.
