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.

The Evening Markets

The evening markets in Ardèche have become a must during summer. Under twinkling lights, the narrow streets come alive with music, laughter, and delicious aromas. Stroll through the stalls, taste local delicacies, and discover the craftsmanship of local artisans. Between regional products, unique creations, and festive entertainment, these evenings offer a truly special atmosphere.
It’s the perfect opportunity to extend the day, share a drink, taste a speciality, maybe even dance… and above all experience Ardèche in a different way, right in the heart of its villages.
