Marché Berteaux is Chatou's neighborhood market in the Bas de Chatou area — the kind of place where locals do their weekly shop among traditional food stalls, a beloved Thai caterer, and traveling merchants. Twice a week, Place Maurice Berteaux comes alive with fresh produce, cheese, bread, and the kind of lively banter that makes French markets worth the trip.

Chatou's authentic neighborhood market
Marché Berteaux is one of Chatou's two weekly markets, set up on Place Maurice Berteaux in the Bas de Chatou neighborhood. It's the kind of market where you do your weekly shop while catching up with neighbors — traditional food stalls (boulangerie, fromagerie, primeur) rub shoulders with traveling merchants and at least one excellent Thai caterer who's become a local favorite.
The market runs twice a week and has a genuinely lively, dynamic atmosphere that's typical of the best Île-de-France markets. You'll find fresh produce, cheese, bread, and prepared foods from vendors who know their regulars by name. It's not a tourist market — this is where Chatou's residents actually shop, and that authenticity is exactly what makes it worth seeking out if you're in the area.
Come with a shopping bag and an appetite. The Thai caterer alone is worth the detour, and the traditional food vendors offer solid quality at fair prices. It's a morning affair, so get there early for the best picks before the stalls thin out.
