Place Richelme, Market square in central Aix-en-Provence, France.
Plane trees line this square where golden facades and wooden shutters create a traditional architectural setting between Espariat Street and the post office building.
Since 1360, this square has maintained its function as a marketplace, with a specific area dedicated to fish stalls for over five centuries.
The daily food market brings together elderly residents, students, and visitors who gather to purchase fresh produce and regional specialties.
The market operates every morning, offering fresh fruits, vegetables, cheeses, sausages, honey, and local delicacies from various vendors throughout the square.
After the market closes and the square is cleaned each evening, the space transforms into an outdoor dining area with multiple restaurants.
