This market was the absolute cutest! We went in the morning and it was bustling with activity. The locals were really friendly and had products ranging from local produce to beautiful paintings of Nice!

L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Market

I am a stall holder on the antiques market and it is a super colourful place to work and visit. The market is on every sunday from around 8 am, there is a general markey selling local produce and many other things to tempt you. Along the Ave 4 hostages there is the antique market that is open all day, there is a variety of antiques and unique different things to look at and purchase as a souveneer from provence. Each year there are 2 INTERNATIONAL ANTIQUE FAIRS one at Easter and the other is over the 15th August each year when the whole town explodes with antiques, art and wierd and wonderful things to buy and look at. Check it out and come along you will not be dissapointed.

Farmers' Markets

Reviewed By Razorfish - Little Rock, United States

My wife and I shopped at the Farmers Market in Aix-en-Provence on a Saturday morning during our two day stay in Aix. It is a great farmers market. It is one of my favorite markers in Europe. There is a good variety of fruits and vegetables as well as cheeses and breads. We bought some bread and cheese and I bought some duck confit. We went back to our Airbnb apartment and had a picnic on the rooftop terrace. It was one of the most memorable experiences of out trip to southern France.

Avignon Les Halles

Reviewed By Razorfish - Little Rock, United States

My wife and I visited Les Halles the first morning of our trip to Avignon because we love the old markets in the towns we visit throughout Europe. Les Halles is very interesting with a great variety of items. I’m glad we stopped in at Les Halles before we visited the highlights of Avignon.

Le Marche d'Arles

Reviewed By GlamBecca - Boston, United States

I made it a point to plan my visit to Arles so I would make it to the Saturday market. So glad it worked out. Plan to spend at least 2 hours, and eat your way through! The food offerings are varied, abundant, and delicious! If you're staying in Arles for a few days why not buy some cheeses, cured meats, olives, fruits, salads or rices...and bring them back to your room. I did! Lovely late night snack or quick breakfast. One end of the market has clothes, handbags, kitchen gadgets, fabrics, socks, and the like. The center is food. All kinds. From fresh to prepared, cheeses and breads, or from condiments to spices. Fabulous!!! The other end has really nice local handcrafted wares. Soaps, linens, lavender, pottery, and olive wood kitchen utensils. To name a few. I traveled alone and enjoyed the experience tremendously. Lots of friendly people there too. Enjoy!

Open Air Market

Reviewed By taitaihk - Hong Kong, China

We were lucky to be in Arles on a Saturday when this market takes place. It is truly not to be missed and was definitely the best market we visited on our trip to Provence and Burgundy. The market is vast, spanning 2 roads in the centre of Arles, and sells everything from food to baskets, jewellery, clothes, toiletries, local souvenirs and bric a brac. It was the food stalls which attracted us, an amazing array of fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, fresh fish and seafood, saucissons, patisserie, and cheeses. Go hungry.
