Local Markets in Provence
Wandering through the little Provençal markets feels like stepping into a living postcard from Southern France.
For centuries, these markets have been the heart of village life in Provence. Dating back to the Middle Ages, local farmers, olive growers, fishermen, and artisans gathered in town squares to trade fresh produce, herbs, lavender, cheese, fabrics, and handmade treasures.
