Marché De Cadenet

Marché De Cadenet is a traditional marketplace in Cadenet that spreads across multiple squares with around 45 stalls selling fresh produce, meats, seafood, and local goods. The vendors arrange themselves along Cours Voltaire and use three different public spaces to display their merchandise.

The market continues a trade tradition that has existed for hundreds of years in a town whose name comes from its location on higher ground. This long-standing practice has shaped how the community exchanges goods.

The market reflects how locals live and eat, with vendors selling what people actually cook with at home. You see regional tastes on display through the choice of produce, cheeses, and meats that change with the seasons.

The market operates in the morning, so arriving early gives you better access to fresh goods and a chance to talk with vendors. Since the activity happens quickly, being there at the start makes the most of your visit.

The market connects directly with local truffle hunters who bring their seasonal finds to sell here. This link to the countryside gives you access to rare delicacies that you would not find in ordinary shops.
