In this episode, I'm sharing why markets are one of my absolute favourite things about life in Provence - and one of the biggest reasons I live here.

I talk about what makes Provençal markets special, what you can expect to find (with a season-by-season walk through the produce), and the practical tips that will help you get the most out of a visit.

I also share some of my favourite markets:

– Coustellet – L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue – Villeneuve-lès-Avignon – Saint-Rémy-de-Provence – Eygalières – Apt and L'Isle – Velleron – Les Halles in Avignon

Whether you're planning a trip, dreaming about one, or just curious about what a French market is really like, this episode is for you.

And if you have a favourite market of your own, I'd love to hear about it…
