Markets Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur

Reserved for professionals, this typical market is held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, on the square in front of the town hall. It opens its doors to individuals after the end of the transactions between producers (from 6pm in summer). This is an opportunity to buy unsold produce and to stock up on tomatoes, zucchini, melons, etc. in quantity (everything is sold by the box). A real good plan, as long as you don't arrive too late because, as always, the good deals go quickly. An excellent idea to buy at low prices.

Only ten or so exhibitors, but a nice selection of products with the AB label (fruit and vegetables, bread, cheese, etc.). The prices are reasonable and allow everyone to buy healthy and tasty local products. What to make more and more followers every Saturday morning on the place Saint-Michel. In addition, the medieval atmosphere of this market is conducive to discussion: the producers willingly talk about their work and their commitment. A very nice and friendly place, as we like them in Provence.

It is the unavoidable appointment on Saturday morning, for the amateurs of the kind, as for the professionals: the market of the producers, on the square of the Min (Market of national interest), it is the guarantee to buy fresh and seasonal products, directly from the producer to the consumers (there are no resellers, only local farmers). Moreover, the prices are very interesting and you can fill up on vegetables and fruits. This is where the Petit Futé finds the best strawberries in the area. Good for the morale as well as for the health.

How, you might ask, yet another market on the Saleya course? Well yes, after the famous day markets, here comes the night market, instead of the other two!

We say no more and let you discover it!

The markets of Provence, with their colorful accents, their flowery smells, and the gossip of the shopkeepers, are all clichés that attract thousands of tourists every year. The market of Eygalières is no exception. It is a very small market, but so typical that one can walk there by simple pleasure. Of course, it will be the occasion to fill up with fruits and vegetables of season proposed by the local producers. You can also find clothes, flowers and lots of gourmet ideas.

The Maillane market is held every Thursday morning on the Place de l'Église. It is a very small market, but so typical that it is worth a visit, if only because it is held in the village where Frédéric Mistral was born. It is mainly food products, sold by local producers, but also clothing and some other non-food products. There are not many exhibitors and the atmosphere is particularly friendly, a bit like the markets of yesteryear. The shadow of Mistral still hangs over it.

Every Tuesday from 14 am to 19 pm on the place du Rattle.

Every Wednesday, the Provencal market of Gémenos takes place under the Halle des Arcades, Cours Sudre. On the stalls you will find the spirit of the markets of Provence with fresh and good: fruits, vegetables, fish, meat, products of producers and local products. All you need to go to the kitchen to prepare good southern dishes. The market of Gémenos is color, smells, a typical atmosphere of Provence.

It's one of Provence's biggest and most beautiful markets. And it's been here for over 500 years. In 1483, a bull from Pope Sixtus IV authorized Vaison-la-Romaine to create it. And it was in 1532 that Pope Clement VII decided on the day: Tuesday morning. The 450 exhibitors (at the height of the season) who take over the town center are a veritable institution! All your senses will be seduced. The accents of the salespeople touting their wares, the smells of spices and lavender, the freshly-picked fruit and vegetables that color the stalls. Place François Cevert is reserved exclusively for local producers, where everything is in season. Flowers and plants fill the Place du 11 Novembre, home to nurseries and garden centers. For enthusiasts, flea market stalls line the Cours Henri Fabre. And then head for the Cours Taulignan, where Nyons olives and olive oils, Baronnies lime blossom and other regional produce will give you ideas for lunch. It's a truly beautiful Provencal market, with arts and crafts from local artists and artisans, seafood and butchers, textiles and hardware... You might just fall for a slice of pissaladière as you stroll along, because that's the only rhythm you'll find here.

The Marché Flottant was created in the 1960s, initiated by René Légier after a trip to Bangkok. Since then, every 1ᵉʳ Sunday in August, merchants in traditional costume go from one bank of the Sorgue to the other aboard their Nègo-chin (flat-bottomed boats) to sell fruit and vegetables, cheeses and bouquets of flowers. At the end of the market, around 1pm, they gather to sing the Coupo Santo, the hymn of the Félibrige. A picturesque spectacle that draws huge crowds. Get there early if you want a front-row seat.

The truffle market in Carpentras (France's leading truffle-producing region) is held in the porch and courtyard of the Hôtel-Dieu every Friday morning from 8am in winter.

This intimate, silent market has a very special atmosphere. Transactions take place in an air of secrecy; this is a market for connoisseurs.

A new kind of gourmet market has opened on boulevard Longchamp, in place of a former theater. After a great deal of hard work and self-sacrifice, the trio of Amaury, Pierre and Hugo were finally able to open a beautiful indoor market at the beginning of September 2023, an inspiring and quite unique venue in the city center. Featuring a greengrocer offering only local fruit and vegetables (with the exception of citrus fruits from Sicily and Corsica), a cheesemonger, a wine shop, a butcher, a bakery corner by Ferments Bakery and, last but not least, the market auction by our long-time favorite, ex-Nico Coquillages, the various counters are just waiting for you to do your shopping. Affordable prices, a great approach by the creators to reduce margins without skimping on quality and seasonality. Bulk wine from the Alpilles. Organic grocery corner. A marvellously well thought-out address! I love the stained glass windows under the glass roof. Magnificent.
