We visited a market practically every day that we were in Provence. In each area, there are bound to be two or three towns that would have a market on any given day. The biggest one we have visited was at St. Remy, even bigger than the one at Aix-en-Provence and one we've enjoyed the most because of the variety of merchandise. The beautiful voice of Mirielle singing in the marketplace at St. Remy also made this a memorable locale for us. We were lucky to find a seat in the cafe in front of which she was singing. You can hear a clip of her singing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2ClzhJ0lxg

Here is the Aix market, right outside the Hermes store!
Baskets - a signature provencal market fare,
A happy customer -
The cleanup afterwards
St. Remy market is spread out over many streets and squares with a wide variety of merchandise,
Look at the array of door knobs!
and your choice of cheese stalls
hats,
a family affair!
Not to mention your choice of street musicians,
on the Cours Mirabeaux in Aix-en-Provence |
St. Remy |
