Bonjour à tous,
In this sentence, you cannot have "Le Futur Simple" because the English sentence includes "I'm going to [location]" which is the English Present tense and refers to an action very close in the future. Also, the time marker "this morning = ce matin" gives another sense of close future. If you are using Le Futur Simple in French, you are referring to something further away.
Ce matin, je vais au travail. = This morning, I'm going to work.
Demain, j'irai au travail. = Tomorrow, I will go to work.
 
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

I think this is the sentence Dawn is referring to. I have the same question "Ce matin, je vais aller au supermarché pour acheter des huîtres fraîches". Why not "Ce matin, j'irai au supermarché pour acheter des huîtres fraîches"

When you are writing, you should usually write with the future proche and SPEAK with the future.
