Marche Aux Puces St Martin Laval

Despite many folks who have mocked Marche Aux Puces all my life, I tend to enjoy visiting one from time to time. The Laval one is small with a practically non-​existent food court but the wealth of independent stores make it a popular hub for those of use who want to buy consumable goods over the traditional bartering at the countless kiosks inside the market inside.
Sami Fruit is one of the best places to buy fruits and nuts,.they have a butcher place for great cuts of meat, a bakery that does a great job, several competent fish markets … to be honest, the Marche Aux Puces is now actually a half decent farmer’s market at this point with a mediocre «marche au puces» section.
The marche au puces sections is crowded but interesting things can be found. It’s a bit hectic on the weekends but I’d rather have that than the begging and annoyance you get going there being harassed by vendors during the week. Deal can be made, sometimes great but be careful, some will gladly rip you off.
Parking is aplenty but people here REALLY CAN’T PARK NOR DRIVE!!! So I park far away!
Beyond that, a nice place to visit, particularly for the consumable goods.
