The two Wednesday markets, organic and non-organic, will merge into one in the morning. The Chartres outdoor markets commission has chosen to bring together the Wednesday stalls to make them “more attractive and more promising,” said Guillaume Bonnet, deputy mayor in charge of trade and improving the living environment.

On Wednesday mornings, the market usually hosts eleven non-organic traders. In the afternoon, five organic traders set up shop. Guillaume Bonnet continues:
“Our markets can accommodate around thirty traders. In the organic market, a trader need only be absent for the market to appear empty. They do not have enough visibility.”

Two days, two markets, two places
With this merger, which will take place on September 1, 2021, the City hopes to expand the offer of the Wednesday morning market. She called for new traders, organic and non-organic. “The organic traders already present on Wednesday afternoon have priority to integrate the morning market. Three out of five have already requested it. In addition, they have not expressed the wish to be separated from the other stalls. Their customers know them and come for them specifically. “

The Wednesday market will remain on Boulevard Chasles. Guillaume Bonnet underlines:
“The clientele that goes to the market on Wednesdays is different from those on Saturdays. On Saturdays, people go for a walk while on Wednesdays, they are clients who sometimes come from nearby towns and need to go fast.”

The Place Billard market will expand
On the other hand, the Saturday market should return to Place Billard as soon as sanitary conditions allow. “We are awaiting the green light from the prefecture, specifies Guillaume Bonnet. The problem is social distancing.”
Another announcement from the deputy in charge of trade, the expansion of the Place Billard market: “We plan to open seven locations on the Place de la Poissonnerie, to accommodate new traders.”
