The markets of Provence

Sensory immersion

The markets of Provence are a veritable celebration of the senses. Under the plane trees of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie or in the heart of Cotignac, the stalls overflow with sun-kissed fruit, aromatic herbs and traditional specialities. Vibrant colours, enchanting scents and local flavours create a typical, authentic and unforgettable atmosphere.

A living heritage

These markets perpetuate age-old traditions. In Aups, famous for its truffle market in winter, or in Villecroze, producers proudly share their know-how. On Saturdays in Tourtour, perched on its promontory, the narrow streets come alive to the rhythm of well-filled baskets and the singing voices of the vendors.

An authentic encounter

In every village, markets are much more than places to shop: they're places to meet people. They're a place to exchange recipes, smiles and a little of that Provençal gentle way of life. A must if you want to feel the true soul of the Haut-Var.
