Niamey Grand Market, Covered market in central Niamey, Niger.

The market complex contains 4000 shops arranged in sections, including metal stalls, covered tables, and two large permanent buildings for retail stores.

After a devastating fire in 1982, the market underwent reconstruction and reopened in 1987 following a 5 billion CFA Francs investment project.

Local artisans display traditional Nigerien crafts, textiles, spices, and agricultural products, representing the regional trading traditions of West Africa.

The marketplace includes a central bus station and taxi terminal behind the main building, making it accessible for visitors from across the city.

The architectural design by Kalt Pouradier-Duteil Vignal transformed a colonial-era park that once divided European and African sections of Niamey.
