Mapping the Markets of Peter Mayle’s Provence

Twenty years ago, my husband, daughter, and I rolled into Marseille on the high-speed train from Paris. If I recall correctly, the Aix-en-Provence TGV station had not yet been built. We rented a car and drove to Aix-en-Provence, where we would spend several nights before moving to Lourmarin, the small village at the base of …
Paul Cezanne Inspired Recipe for Leg of Lamb
September 18, 2015
The climate in Provence is not well-suited to cattle farming, so sheep and goats have roamed the hills and pastures in the region for centuries. As a result, Provencal markets are filled with an endless selection of goat (chèvre) and sheep (brebis) cheeses, and you can always find lamb in local butcher shops. Paul Cezanne …

I will be in Provence for the last week of May this year and I am very keen to visit some markets particularly those that have homewares stalls as well as food. i will be staying in Avignon as I will be relying on public transport – could you advise me on the most appropriate market? Thank you
Hello Janine: I will send you an email shortly on markets near to Avignon.
Hi Janine,
I’m sure that Carolyne will also send you an email, but my advice would be to visit the market at St Remy. Getting around with public transport will be tricky. It depends on the home wares you’re interested in. The Wednesday market at St Remy has many cute stands with shabby chic type French ornaments. The town itself would be useful for you to visit as there are many home decorating stores.
If you’re looking for antiques and you’re only in the area for a week, I would suggest visiting the Sunday market at Isle sur la Sorgue and the many home decorating stores and warehouses full of upmarket French antiques. Hope this helps!
Thanks Ashley, I agree Isle sur la Sorgue is definitely worth a visit. We always love St Remy, and of course les Halles in Avignon.
