Description
L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Market is an outdoor marketplace stretching through streets and along the town's canals, bringing together over 200 vendors. The stalls display local fruits and vegetables, cheese, olives, wines, textiles, and regional products typical of Provence.
History
The marketplace tradition began in 1596 when the town received royal permission to establish regular trading events. This commercial practice has continued for centuries, becoming embedded in the town's identity.
Culture
Local producers and artisans sell according to Provençal customs, with farmers offering seasonal goods and handmade items that reflect the region's agricultural traditions. The way shoppers and vendors interact shows how important these gatherings are to the community's weekly rhythm.
