Halles d'Avignon, Indoor market hall in central Avignon, France
The Halles d'Avignon is a covered market hall in the city center where about forty local vendors offer their goods. The selection ranges from fresh produce and cheese to wine, fish, and regional specialties from Provence.
The market hall was founded to concentrate local commerce in the heart of Avignon and ensure the city's food supply. A major renovation came in 2006 when the northern facade was redesigned with a living wall garden.
The market serves as a gathering place where local residents and visitors meet to shop and exchange news over regional products. It reflects daily life in Avignon, where people plan meals and artisans demonstrate their craft.
It is best to visit from Tuesday to Sunday in the early morning when the selection is largest and the air is fresh. The location is central, easily reached on foot, and offers a pleasant experience without crowds during early hours.
The northern wall is covered with a living garden that grows dozens of plant species across a narrow strip of facade. This green covering adapts to the sunny conditions of southern France and creates a contrast to the traditional market appearance.
