A market visit could sort out lunch, pantry staples, and your next French read. Le Marché on Poplar returns to Riverclub on Saturday, 3 October, with an outdoor selection of food and artisanal stalls.

The advertised offering includes imported French cheeses, bakery goods, pâtisserie, jams, crêpes and galettes, alongside fruit and vegetables.

A stop for French readers, too

La Librairie Solidaire will offer French books for different ages. It adds a useful stop for French-speaking families or anyone learning the language who wants something to read beyond a textbook.

The market also welcomes dogs and advertises a park area for children. Parents should still supervise their children while browsing.

The Bottom Line

This is an option for a morning of food shopping and browsing. If an unfamiliar cheese or pastry catches your attention, ask the stallholder about it before choosing what to take home.
