Markets Carpentras

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. Individuals can choose their tuber melanosporum on the porch, while the "carré" in the courtyard of honor is reserved for professionals, brokers, restaurateurs and traders. This intimate, silent market has a very special atmosphere. Transactions take place in an air of secrecy; this is a market for connoisseurs.
