Market in Apt, Traditional Provençal market in Apt, France
The Market in Apt is a weekly gathering in the old town where hundreds of vendors sell fresh produce, local cheeses, pottery, fabrics, and seasonal specialties from the region. The stalls spread across several streets and display the range of what local producers create.
The market has maintained its economic role since medieval times and served the town through centuries of change. Its recognition in 1996 as one of France's most exceptional markets acknowledged its lasting importance to the region.
The market brings together local producers and artisans who gather weekly to sell regional items, from Luberon honey to traditional Provençal textiles and lavender products.
The market opens Saturday mornings and closes around 12:30 PM, so arriving early gives you the best selection of goods. The location is easy to walk through, and visitors can take free shuttle services during warmer months if needed.
During winter months, a specialized truffle section appears where vendors trade these precious fungi in a controlled setting. This rare specialty attracts enthusiasts and chefs from across the region.
