The Arles market

The Arles Market runs for two kilometers along Boulevard des Lices with hundreds of stalls selling fresh fruits, vegetables, regional products, and handmade goods. The stalls are organized by sections including food, clothing, and flowers.

This site has served as a central marketplace since medieval times where farmers from across the region brought goods to sell. Its role as a trading hub has remained essential throughout centuries.

The vendors selling olive oils, honey, wines, and textiles here represent the flavors and crafts that define daily life in Provence. Walking through, you can see how these regional products remain central to how locals eat and live today.

The market operates on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, so arriving early gives you the best selection and least crowded experience. What is available changes with the seasons, so visiting at different times of year offers different finds.

A few stalls sell horse and bull meat cut in specific ways for traditional Provencal recipes that have been made for generations. This meat tradition reflects cooking styles that go back centuries in the region.
