Marché Forville, Market hall in central Cannes, France

Marché Forville is a covered market hall in central Cannes with stalls offering fresh vegetables, fruits, Mediterranean fish, and local products from regional vendors. The space features multiple rows of stands beneath a protective roof, allowing shoppers to browse in any weather.

The present hall was designed by the Dracénois architect Henri Bret, chosen through a competition in 1929, to replace an 1884 market whose hall was built of wood. Construction supervised by the firm Lisnard & Rance took three years and the market was inaugurated in 1932. It was labelled by the Commission Régionale du Patrimoine et des Sites on 28 November 2000 and received the "Patrimoine du XXe siècle" label.

Local producers and fishermen gather here to sell their catches and harvests, maintaining a direct connection with customers that has shaped daily life in the city for generations. This place remains where residents come to shop for meals and meet neighbors.

Visit early in the morning when the selection is fullest and the space is less crowded, making it easier to browse and chat with vendors. The market sits in the city center and is walkable from nearby shops and cafés.
