Do not hesitate to inquire beforehand with our accommodation manager or the tourist office’s website to make sure of the exact date of the markets that interest you. Some villages, for example, have no market, such as Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, and large cities have a market almost every day, such as Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, or the halls of Avignon, from Tuesday to Sunday. Some villages also offer a night market, such as the Lauris farmer’s market which takes place every Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m. during winter and from 6 to 8 p.m. in summer.
The tourist office can also be of good advice if you are looking for a particular product or producer, such as candied fruit or Gibassier.
