The story of the Provençal markets
Markets are at the heart of Provençal life and have been held in many of these towns since the Middle Ages. Each village has its own day, and locals plan their week around them to buy fresh vegetables, cheese, bread and flowers.
Stalls sell the flavours of the region: olive oil, tapenade, herbes de Provence, honey, calissons from Aix, lavender bags and real Savon de Marseille. The colours and the chatter make them one of the best ways to feel the spirit of Provence.
