It’s hard to imagine a trip to any town on the French Riviera without a visit to a local traditional market.

In Saint Paul de Vence you have several options.

If you want to enjoy the true Mediterranean flavor of food from local farmers, visit the small-scale farmers’ market held every Wednesday from 7am to 2pm on Place du Jeu de Boules. You can buy local cheeses, herbs, fruits and vegetables, but also jams or honey.

There is no better way to meet the locals, chat about their everyday life and buy fresh some local food.

If you cannot make it to the markets for whatever reason, you can always visit the Gilles and Pascale Fenochio family shop, Les Légumes de Saint-Paul. Run for four generations. This shop guarantees you the true quality and authenticity of the food on offer. Whether it’s their own seasonal harvest of fruit and vegetables or local meats and cheeses.

Organic Agriculture certification.

Tuesday, Friday from 8am to 12.30am and from 3pm to 7pm.
