MARCHÉS

Although modest in size, the town of Vals-les-Bains remains one of the region's urban centers, and has long been a center of trade for the surrounding rural communities. So it's only natural that the town's streets were home to a number of markets, which still exist today and offer a chance to get to know the local culture while shopping for fresh produce direct from the producers. Every Thursday and Sunday morning on rue Jean-Jaurès, and every Thursday evening in summer in the spa district.
