Description:

Interact with village residents and get a glimpse of everyday life in Provence at a traditional street market. Marvel at the vibrant array of colors and delightful smells as you stroll along the busy alleys lined with stands selling local products such as fruit, cheese, and melons.

Visiting an open-air market is one of life's little pleasures in Provence. Those traditional markets serve as much as a social function as an opportunity to shop or bring the community together. Led by a knowledgeable guide, reach picturesque towns—varying each day—to explore and be dazzled by the lively atmosphere.

Enjoy the sun, conviviality, and local humor while gazing at the colorful and fragrant displays of produce stands. Then admire the fresh seafood truck, a wide selection of dried fruit, and the array of goat cheese made by local farmers. After seeing mouthwatering cherries, melons, apricots, and nougats, enjoy tastes of local delicacies including cheese and wine.
