Abstract

French markets in urban and peri-urban areas are withstanding the super markets competition, specially in suburbs and in the first outskirts belt. In french rural areas, markets are mainly food suppliers and customers expenses are more important than on urban markets. In developing countries, markets show accurately the standard of rural way of life (note the difference between Morocco and Algeria). Compared commercial structures allow to know the influence of the urban way of life : parisian markets are similar to Kabylie's markets ; clothing stands are numerous on french markets; rural products still appear on moroccan « souks ». Finally, markets can help to revivify depressed areas and could be used as regional planning tools.
