Open-air markets Ardèche

Shoppers will discover a selection of artisanal products and fresh items from local producers. It is not very big but you can find the essentials. As in all the small markets, there is a good atmosphere where all the generations mix. Further down, the banks are frequented by fishermen, hikers, jousters in the summer, and boat rowers. So, after shopping at the market, why not continue south of the bridge to stroll along the large car park where sometimes there are fun activities?

Every Wednesday morning, the Joyeuse market is one of the most popular in the region for locals and tourists alike. You'll find the usual array of fruit, vegetables, cheeses, breads and other fresh produce, as well as clothes, books, local crafts and souvenirs. Out of season, this market is already a respectable size even in the depths of winter. In July and August, it's at its peak. At this time of year, we recommend parking outside the village and walking to the market.
