The Forcalquier Market In Pictures
Ashley Tinker · Markets in Provence and Cote d'Azur · TasteForcalquier market is just as beautiful as many other large Provençal markets. It’s in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence region and is located close to Valensole. If you vacation around this area, your visit will most likely include the Gorges du Verdon. If you’re lucky, you’ll be in this region in July, where you’ll see the vast expanses of lavender fields in the Valensole plains with mountains in the distance.

Temptation at a market is everywhere in the piles of produce and fresh fruit, ripening goat cheese, and buckets of olives. However, practice a bit of buyer-beware as some vendors are resellers who buy from large chains and re-package their goods for marketgoers. Study the “Pays d’origine” tags. These signs tell you where the produce comes from and indicate quality, with #1 being the best. Try to buy local, in-season, and, where possible, directly from the producer. Narrowing the list of markets in Provence and along the Côte d’Azur to our 10 favourites was not simple, but here is our list.
