Outside market (the Lausanne market, huge on Saturday mornings,
smaller on Wednesday mornings), open all year long. It's not 100% a
farmer's market, some stands are real farmers, others are resellers,
but what they resell is much better and fresher stuff than the
stupidmarkets. You can find vegetables and fruit, of course, but also
meat (my favorite butcher is there) and poultry, cheese (exceptional
quality), good Italian cured meat products, even fish from the Lake of
Geneva, good olives, honey, stuff like that.
