The Provencal Markets in the neighbourhood

One of the true pleasures of staying in Provence is discovering its colourful local markets. More than just places to shop, Provençal markets are part of the local art of living: strolling through picturesque streets, tasting sun-ripened fruits, chatting with local producers, and enjoying the relaxed southern atmosphere. From fragrant lavender and olives to fresh goat cheese, truffles, wines and artisan products, every market offers its own unique charm.
