Best Markets in Provence: Part II Farmer’s Markets

Ashley Tinker · Markets in Provence and Cote d'Azur · Taste

The quality of the produce is impressive here in Provence. However, all produce is not created equal. The first year I was here, I grew many of my own vegetables. I later wondered why I went through all that trouble. There are some producer’s markets where farmers sell their pickings from that morning. How can you tell? All I can say is that after 2.5 years here, I can easily tell which veggies are exceedingly versus very fresh. Continue reading here for Ashley’s market tips for buying the best seasonal produce in Provence. She also shares some great “where the locals go” tips for touring after your trip to the market.

Ashley Tinker

Ashley was born and raised in Montréal, Canada. She has always been drawn to the history, way of life and beauty of Europe. Her feelings for Europe were reconfirmed while studying art in Florence, Italy. Ashley says that stone buildings, colourful shutters and terra cotta tile rooftops fill her dreams and now her days.

Ashley moved to Provence in 2014 with her partner Robin (he also shares her Francophile passions). They are in search of the French joie de vivre, which they find at every turn in the local markets and natural beauty of Provence. This couple are indulging in local olives and wine as the Provencal sunshine changes craggy rocks into things of beauty.
