The markets of Provence
Provence markets can be farmers’ markets, local markets or even organic markets. Markets can be weekly or daily, depending on the commune. These are places where you can buy local produce and seasonal fruit and vegetables, as well as meet local folk. The producers at farmers’ markets and organic markets guarantee you short distribution channels.
The markets of Provence are a feast for the eyes and the taste buds!
Market days in Provence are a veritable awakening of the senses.
There's the scent of thyme and rosemary, and the eyes are already feasting on the tomatoes, courgettes and other peppers that will make the ratatouille at lunchtime... It's the perfect accompaniment to the sea bass or sea bream bought at the fish market.
For an aperitif? Cade, a large chickpea flour cake, and a few olives will do the trick! As a starter, why not try the artichoke of Provence: the petit violet. For dessert, succumb to the sweet charm of the Sollièsfig .
And don't forget to buy a pretty bouquet of flowers to put in the centre of the table!
These markets await you in the squares of the towns and villages of the Var.
