Provençal market: the most beautiful markets in Provence

Colourful, lively and delicious — that’s the essence of Provençal markets.

During your stay at one of our Tikayan campsites in the South of France, grab your basket and set off to explore the 7 most iconic markets in Provence.

• Forcalquier Market
  One of the most famous markets in Provence, held every Monday year-round across the entire town. Arrive early, enjoy a coffee on a terrace, and browse the stalls filled with southern flavours, crafts, textiles and flowers. On Thursdays, a smaller organic market features around fifteen local producers — including a world pizza champion!

• Grimaud Market
  Every Thursday morning, the village comes alive with colourful stalls offering sun-kissed fruit, aromatic herbs and regional cheeses. At Port Grimaud, the market by the canals feels like a postcard — fresh fish, olives and wines in a gentle Mediterranean atmosphere. In summer, the night market adds a magical touch.
