"The people of Valenciennes are still lucky enough to be able to enjoy a quality market, in an exceptional location that adds a not inconsiderable charm to the Saturday morning stroll..."

through your senses... Let us guide you

La Dolce Vita also means taking the time to inhale the delicious smells of the market stalls…

On Saturday mornings, around the kiosk behind the Musée des Beaux-Arts (and opposite the tourist office), or to soak up the conviviality of these shared moments.

Let yourself be transported through the lively aisles, and you’ll see the olfactory communication of a market on a summer’s day, leading you to many gustatory discoveries.

Strolling through a market is a journey in itself. The atmosphere, the colors, the passion of a producer talking to you about his products, the smell of a good roast chicken, or fresh fruit bursting with vitamins… or even the sweet fragrance of bouquets of roses or lilies!
