The Provencal Markets in the Ardeche is a place where you can enjoy the wonderful climate and local atmosphere as well as get to know the art of “taking your time.” A spectacle of colours and scents come your way, with the market stalls almost collapsing under the ripe and juicy peaches, nectarines, raspberries, and melons. And then there is our “Picodon” – a regional goat cheese that can be enjoyed cold or hot on a salad – truly blissful! Enjoy yourself to your heart’s content – there is a market somewhere almost every day; they are generally open from 9 am to around 1 pm.
