In a historic covered market in Val-de-Marne, a unique place is about to open, bringing together 7 different activity spaces. Fresh, local products and a lively atmosphere: Saint-Maur-des-Fossés is reinventing itself.


One place, seven reasons to go

On April 30, Place Stalingrad in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés will enter a brand new era. From that date, a gourmet hall will open its doors from Wednesday to Sunday, promoting community spirit and offering high-quality, locally sourced products. The renovation of this place will create a pleasant and optimized experience for both customers and stall owners. Designed for leisurely visits, its glass facade, open displays toward the outside, and spacious terrace will help you p.

Enjoy the sunshine while avoiding the crowds and relax by savoring some (really) great products.

Inside, the space will be divided into 7 counters: La Mer for fish, shellfish, and crustaceans, Les Planches for cheese and charcuterie lovers, Le Bistrot with a French-style cuisine and vibe, Le Café gourmand for sweet tooths, Le Végétal that celebrates vegetables, and of course, Le Bar and Le Bar à Vin which we certainly don’t need to introduce to you. In short, the Halles de la Varenne is the Sunday morning market of your childhood, but way cooler.

Guinguette, tournaments, concerts

Did you think it was over? Nope! This place is even better than you imagine. It will host lots of exciting events. For example, every Thursday and Sunday, you can join a yoga class in the morning, recharge with breakfast from the market, enjoy oysters at one euro in the afternoon, and groove to a DJ set in the evening. What about Wednesdays? You'll find family activities and workshops for kids.

As the seasons change, the restaurants will evolve and new events will pop up: darts tournaments, concerts, guinguette... We recommend keeping an eye on Halles de la Varennes.
