The city's main covered food market, with upstairs counters for lunch.
The Marché Victor Hugo is the largest covered market in Toulouse. Stalls sell cheese, charcuterie, duck, Toulouse sausage, fish, fruit and vegetables, and flowers, and the first floor has small restaurants where lunch is served from the stalls below. Locals shop on Saturday morning, and on Sunday the surrounding square is a lively place. Ducks of the Gers, cassoulet ingredients and Pyrenean cheeses are common on the counters.
