La Coopérative Place du Marché

A showcase of freshness and authenticity

Located in the heart of Ripon, the Coopérative Place du Marché is much more than just a shopping center. It's a community hub where passionate producers and informed consumers come together. Every Saturday, from Patriotes Day to Thanksgiving, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the market comes alive with color and flavor. When you visit the market, you'll discover a vast array of fresh produce, from seasonal fruits and vegetables to handicrafts and dishes prepared with care by passionate local producers.

What really sets Coopérative Place du Marché apart is its deep commitment to sustainability and ethics. The products on offer come from environmentally-friendly, often organic, agriculture. The producers, proud of their work, are always ready to share their knowledge and production techniques with curious visitors.

And the experience doesn't stop there. The cooperative is also a dynamic place to live, offering a multitude of events throughout the year. Friday evenings, for example, are an opportunity to take part in convivial 5 à 7s where you can enjoy meals prepared from local produce, accompanied by craft beers, local wines or ciders. A varied cultural program is also offered, including shows, game nights and film screenings. In fact, it's an essential part of Petite Nation's social life.

Bowman's Public Market

A friendly gathering

The Bowman Public Market offers an equally enriching experience. Every Saturday, from Bastille Day to Labor Day, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., Centennial Park is transformed into a veritable ephemeral village, where welcoming booths and stalls invite discovery.

What strikes you immediately on arriving at the Bowman Market is the warm, friendly atmosphere. Here, locals, vacationers and tourists mingle in a relaxed atmosphere, exchanging recipes and anecdotes as they meet. The producers, proud of their products, take the time to share their passion and techniques with interested visitors.

One of the special features of the Bowman Market is its willingness to create themed areas. The Marché de l'Outaouais, for example, features a small house dedicated to products from the Outaouais region, allowing visitors to discover regional specialties. For families, the "Espace ludique" is a veritable paradise: sheltered from the elements, it offers numerous board games, tables and chairs adapted for young and old, encouraging moments of sharing and conviviality.

Every week, the market offers a different theme, accompanied by activities and workshops. These activities, often based on local produce or traditions, add an educational and entertaining dimension to the visit, making the market a real family outing.
