Market gardeners Provence

This greengrocer offers local fruit and vegetables, presented on barrels: zucchini from Fontvieille, melons from the Gard, clementines from Corsica... Owner Richard Gendre makes a point of knowing all the producers he works with. This guarantee of quality also enables him to charge reasonable prices. We tried the old-fashioned tomatoes, white zucchinis and yellow melons: all delicious! You'll also find charcuterie, Camargue rice, eggs, jams, wine, cheeses, fruit juices... all local, of course.

This is a very active cooperative with more than a hundred members - cereal growers, market gardeners, breeders - and it also exists in Manosque and Valensole. No intermediaries, ultra-fresh products and flawless traceability at the same price as the producer. Demanding or committed customers can find seasonal fruit and vegetables, dairy and farm products, cold cuts and meats all year round. The approach being also locavore, nothing is produced more than 160 km away. In the fish section, sea bream, sea bass and tuna from La Seyne-sur-Mer are sold vacuum-packed to guarantee the freshness of the product. Practical and well-stocked, the grocery section offers honey, tapenades, olive oils, jams, dried fruits, fruit juices, beers and wines, and organic products. The bread is made by farmer-bakers with their own wheat and small spelt. In short, you can do almost all your shopping at Couleurs Paysannes, and even treat yourself with a bouquet of flowers. Easy to access, the building is well visible from the avenue de La Grande-Bégude, which connects the center of Venelles to the Logissons. The welcome is smiling, the parking is free and every Friday and Saturday, producers come to present their products

Why La Casa di Mina simply because Mina is the Corsican grandmother. Thus one finds there the best Corsican products. On the early side, 100% local products within a 40 km radius. Products from an ecological agriculture. The range of Marius products is very well represented, tapenade, anchovy paste, ratatouille, ristes and regional products. You will obviously enjoy Corsican cheeses and their Provencal cousins. But also pasta from the wheat of the mas de Daudet, fresh eggs, charcuterie from Luberon, regional wines... A farandole of delights.

Just 5 minutes from the city centre, opposite Avignon and in the enchanting rural setting of the Barthelasse Island with a sublime view of the Doms rock and the Avignon bridge, Bernard Cappeau's farm offers you seasonal produce grown on site all year round. Strawberries, apricots, peaches, pears, apples, melons and plums. Vegetables of yesterday and today, nearly ten varieties of tomatoes, zucchini flowers on request, and even thanks to some agreements with other local farmers, eggs, goat's cheese..

Nathalie Michel and Fabrice Menc welcome you to their new boutique Cueilleur de Douceurs, located in their artisan workshop in Mane. You'll discover their range of organic syrups, born of their passion for plants and authentic flavors. Since 2006, their original syrups, based on local or more exotic berries, fruits, flowers and plants, have been handcrafted from carefully selected raw materials. They have banned all chemical additives and preservatives. A marvellous gustatory and human discovery awaits you in this charming boutique.

Marlène selects a wide range of local products from the Vaucluse and Drôme Provençale regions (wines, olive oil, artisanal ice creams, cheeses, spirulina...). There's also a delicatessen section with takeaway dishes, and a wide choice of starters, terrines and desserts made with fresh produce from the store, all prepared on site. She brings back to life the vegetables of yesteryear: the golden turnip... Let yourself be tempted by the delicious parsnip/fennel/cumin flan.

This early one didn't have enough space inside a already large store, so he started to trespass on the street. The salads then turned off and exotic fruits, coconuts, papayas, mangoes, fruit of dragon, Jacques, fruits of passion, mangosteen, feijoa, tamarind, rambutan etc… to invade the pavement, for the greatest pleasure of all, with an incomparable choice. The market like you love!

2 kilometres before the village of Correns, Coralie Gautier produces fruit and vegetables. Stop and buy directly from this producer all the products of his farm and enjoy the true flavours of the land.

"A real playground for your taste buds", as they say so well at Sources de Vie! Here we apply the locavore concept: the products come from the Saint-Etienne-du-Grès market where producers and retailers meet three times a week. In season, there are several varieties of strawberries from the region: mara des bois, gariguettes, cléry, for which the Sources de Vie team will explain the specifics. The quality is there, and you won't be disappointed by the melons, courgettes or others always chosen with care.

As in the studio, as in the market, as at the farm… In this beautiful, colourful Italian street, you find the season's fruit and vegetables beautifully displayed on the shelves of the store and those on the sidewalk. We appreciate the early morning opening of the brand that allows to make its market in the cool or/and before the work. We also appreciate prices that are reasonable for quality and freshness. An alternative to the market when you are pressed. Most: direct sale by Internet and home delivery from 20 euros. It is certainly one of the most beautiful shelves in Aix!

Whether in their shop in Entrevaux or on their farm in Plan de Puget, Isabelle and Eric Mermet offer a selection of fresh seasonal vegetables, many of which are organic. Each week, you can choose a basket of fruit or vegetables. And also goat, ewe and cow cheeses from the upper Var valley, homemade jams, locally produced honeys, or apple juice from Entrevaux. You will also be able to have the products delivered to your home or to a point near your home, as far as Nice.

The fruit king of Provence found here its marks of nobility. Green or black, broken or fragrant, the olive is the star of this small store that proposes it in different kinds, from the douces to the most spiked. The amateurs are not fooled by it. It will delight everyone during the aperitif, served with a good pastaga of course. International olive specialists are unanimous: This is where you find the most Provençal! It is a real institution in the field, for real.

The campsite offers pitches for tents, caravans and motorhomes, as well as services such as sanitary facilities and a kitchen. Visitors can enjoy the natural beauty of the Verdon region, with its breathtaking scenery and outdoor activities. Camping Bio Verdon offers an authentic, environmentally-friendly camping experience, ideal for recharging your batteries in the heart of nature.

Saint-Victor also has its own farmer's grocery store. Camille and Delphine offer seasonal products, mainly from the region, thus favouring the short circuit and responsible consumption. In this way, they are true supporters of local peasant agriculture. You will be able to shop here with fresh produce, fruit and vegetables, dairy products and juices but also groceries with jams, honey and some bulk products. We particularly like the anti-gaspi corner, "not sexy but exquisite".

It is good to live in Provence, culinary as well. A land rich in diversity and strong of passionate producers. There is no longer any need to travel around the region to enjoy the best of the land. In the heart of the Camas, on the now very popular boulevard Chave, this so-called country grocery store only offers products from local producers. Fruits and vegetables (in season, of course), cheeses, delicatessen, jams and honeys, yoghurts or juices, a real opportunity to shop with peace of mind. Success has not been denied since the opening and it is not uncommon to meet all your neighbours there

Located near the Roman aqueduct of Fontvieille, Les Jardins de Cidamos have been distilling their baskets of fruit and vegetables throughout the region for over 10 years. But since 2013, Benoît and his daughter Mathilde have also opened a shop on their property where you can buy fruit, depending on availability, but especially vegetables (about sixty varieties), eggs and local products. Note that Les Jardins de Cidamos are referenced on the Park 4 night app as well as on the France Passion website and are equipped to welcome motor homes.

The notoriety of Cavaillon's melons produced by Pierre Avon is no longer to be done. They grow in Lourmarin, but they can be found on some good lyonnaise and Parisian tables. Not hard to find, it's coming from Lourmarin, castle side towards Lauris-Puyvert. Fill your cart, count one for two people. Isabelle and Pierre also offer asparagus, strawberries, ancient tomatoes, figs and rosé. Products harvested daily, sale on the farm, detail, wholesale, half-fat.

From the producer to the consumer, there is nothing better than tasting ripe fruit, in this case apricots and cherries, the emblematic fruits of the region. Here, they were picked the day before in the property's orchard. For the record, it was Alain Meyer's great-grandfather who planted the first apricot trees at Le Barroux in 1900! You will be able to fill your basket with seasonal fruit, olive oil, apricot nectar and cherry and apricot jam.
