Orange Market, Weekly market in Orange, France
The Orange Market is a weekly outdoor market held every Thursday morning in the town center of Orange, in the Vaucluse region of southern France. Around 250 stalls line the streets, selling fresh produce including fruits, vegetables, meat, and fish, as well as clothing and handmade goods from local vendors.
Markets in Provence have been a central part of town life for centuries, and the one in Orange grew as a regular meeting point for producers from the surrounding villages. Over time, it settled into the Thursday rhythm that still defines the weekly schedule today.
The Thursday market in Orange is a weekly meeting point where neighbors, families, and visitors cross paths while doing their shopping. Many vendors have been here for years and are happy to talk about what they sell, share recipes, or tell stories about the area.
The market runs every Thursday morning and winds down before noon, so arriving early gives the best experience. The stalls spread through the town center streets, which are easy to reach on foot from most of the town.
Alongside the Thursday market, Orange has a separate early-morning produce market in the Passadoires neighborhood that opens as early as 5:30 in the morning, Monday through Saturday. This smaller market draws producers coming directly from their fields and vineyards before most of the town has started its day.
