Market in Dijon
Les Halles is Dijon’s covered market, designed by Gustave Eiffel’s workshop, an iron and glass structure selling mustard, cheese, charcuterie, wine, and pastries. Free to browse. Open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings. Budget travelers eat breakfast at the market, taste Dijon mustard at its source, and stock up for a picnic in the surrounding vineyards.
