Velleron night market is one of the best producer’s markets in Southern France. It has been continually included within the 100 “marchés d’exception” in France by the Conseil National des Arts Culinaires.

The market is open daily, except Sunday of course, in the hot summer months and is very popular with locals commuting from and to Avignon. You will see people march towards the stands with great purpose, armed with baskets that are very quickly full of the freshest seasonal produce to be had. …Continue reading here for details on this market that is frequented by locals where there are no touristy items to be found among the just picked vegetables.

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.
