Market · Bédoin

The Monday market

One of the finest markets in Provence: every Monday morning, all year round, the village centre goes pedestrian and comes alive with producers and traders. From April to the end of September, a farmers' market is also held on Friday late afternoon.

The 2026 season of the Friday farmers' market ended on 25 September; it starts again in April. The Monday market carries on all winter.

Practical info. Monday morning, all year round. Friday 4.30pm – 7pm, from April to the end of September, place de la République. Parking at the entrances to the village.

Market · Carpentras

The Carpentras truffle market

Every Friday in winter, Carpentras holds a market devoted to the black truffle of the Comtat and the foothills of Mont Ventoux. The professionals' market is discreet and quick; a second market, open to all, takes place in front of the tourist office.

Practical info. Friday morning, usually from late November to mid-March for professionals and from December to mid-March for the public, depending on the harvest. A summer truffle market runs from mid-May to mid-August. Find out more ↗

Market · Malaucène

The Wednesday market

Seven centuries old: Malaucène's market is one of the oldest in Provence. On Wednesday mornings the Cours des Isnards fills with stalls: local produce, plants and flowers, clothes. In the warmer months it spills out onto the main road.

Good to know. Wednesday 8 am to 1 pm, all year, on the Cours des Isnards. Find out more ↗
