Next to the tourist office on Quai Jean Jaurès, this is both a gateway to the old town and a small market hall. Mosaic fish dance around the ceiling while a market, selling the real thing, spreads out everyday on the marble slabs below closed winter Mondays. Walk through the Porte de la Poissonnerie to the adjoining Place aux Herbes, a sweet little square where a vegetable, fruit and flower market is a centuries-old tradition.
