Les marchés, street markets, are a
big part of life in Aix. Locals arrive
daily to purchase produce from
farmers, mingle with neighbors
and catch up on gossip. The
markets generally open at 8 a.m.
and close in the early afternoon.
Aix’s specialty markets are open
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays. Place des Prêcheurs
and Place de la Madeleine have
terrific food markets, where you’ll
find fruit and vegetables, herbs,
cheese, olives and cured meats.
Sunflowers, roses and potted olive
trees fill the flower market at Place
de l’Hôtel de Ville. And don’t miss
the antiques and flea market.
While shopping, the general
rule is “ne touchez pas,” don’t
touch. Rather, point and let the
vendors, some of whom may
speak a little English, serve you.
They’ll tally your bill on a scrap
of paper and hand it to you.

Les marchés, street markets, are a
big part of life in Aix. Locals arrive
daily to purchase produce from
farmers, mingle with neighbors
and catch up on gossip. The
markets generally open at 8 a.m.
and close in the early afternoon.
Aix’s specialty markets are open
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays. Place des Prêcheurs
and Place de la Madeleine have
terrific food markets, where you’ll
find fruit and vegetables, herbs,
cheese, olives and cured meats.
Sunflowers, roses and potted olive
trees fill the flower market at Place
de l’Hôtel de Ville. And don’t miss
the antiques and flea market.
While shopping, the general
rule is “ne touchez pas,” don’t
touch. Rather, point and let the
vendors, some of whom may
speak a little English, serve you.
They’ll tally your bill on a scrap
of paper and hand it to you.
