Very nice upscale fresh market in the center of Avignon. Vegetables, butcher, seafood, spices, herbs, wine and a restaurant and bar. Would love to live here just to be able to shop this market weekly! read more

I've been to better markets in France, but for Avignon this is probably your best bet for fresh ingredients. On average, they have two to three vendors with each category: bakery, meat, seafood, etc. I have gotten pate, desserts, duck, produce, and seafood. Glad to have access to this place. read more

Great market. They have fresh fruit, meat, fish, prepared foods, baked goods, etc. Nice parking options (street or garage). Walking distance from most tourist spots in Avignon. The prices are reasonable and competitive. You get a chance to talk to the actual producers and/or owners of the stores. Great place in Avignon. Please keep in mind they close early... So don't go after 2pm. read more

This does not disappoint. But bring your pocket book if you plan to sit down at a number of the stalls. I thought it was going to be more like a farmers market, but it was more like a food hall (amazing prepared food and wines). Very good regional specialties. I was able to create an amazing picnic to enjoy in a park. :) read more

We enjoyed our tour visit to this market. There were only a few stalls that really attracted our interest. The crowd was moderate and most of the vendors were busy. Of interest to use was the spice vendor. The selections were excellent, and the salespeople were friendly and helpful. We made several purchases, and, of note to us, the spice grinders made perfect gifts for us to take home a little local flavor. read more

Great food hall. Lots of options. Fun to go in the morning when it's empty and they are still setting up. One side is all the fresh fish. There are butchers, pastry shops, bread...you name it. With a morning visit. read more

I planned my short stay in Provence around Avignon simply because I wanted to experience a market in this region of France. I didn't realize that the market was indoors, which I actually appreciated because it was so cold and rainy. The market had a lot of stalls for groceries and several which sold premade food, but all in all, I was a little underwhelmed. Especially with the multiple food tours going around hogging up the walkways and being ultra annoying. read more

To the east of the palais des papes, in the old Jewish quarter, lies this modern market, full of interesting stalls selling everything you would expect - flowers, fruit and veg, meat, fish, bread, cheese, wines. Great place to put together a picnic, as there are several stalls selling prepared food like tartes, salads, etc. read more

I love love love this place. I spend 3 months a year in Chateauneuf and this is my favorite place to start and end the trip, to get food and cooking stuff for my stay and as tradition to get oysters and wine at one of the two awesome seafood markets there, shucked fresh, its so much fun. Fresh vacuum sealed olives, chocolate and spices and sea salt from Camargue that I bring back every year that I swear is for my friends and family that I end up keeping for myself. This place is so much fun for locals and tourists. read more

A nice indoor market with a lot of selection. It seemed to be a mixture of local specialties, typical French market goods and some higher end items. The savory items we bought at Maison Violette were excellent even though they mainly sell bread and sweet items. Next time. We got some yummy strawberries, but were disappointed by some poor quality apricots. We bought some fraise a la vanille jam that is the best jam I've ever had. We also got some pizza and savory tarts - all good but nothing special and customer service was lacking. The service at Maison Violette was lovely, but otherwise the vendors seemed tired of the constant flow of American, Chinese and other tourists. I definitely got better service when they didn't overhear me speaking English and I immediately spoke French albeit with an accent. It is a bit comforting that France hasn't changed all that much. read more

The building facade is a sight to see. But I think I've been spoiled by the sights of grand marches like the Jean-Talon market in Montreal, so I've been trying to be understanding to this indoor marketplace, which I thought was very small. We came at 7:30am, and the stalls were open, except for the seafood market, which was still setting up. I believe this is a great place for home cooks and local restaurateurs to pick up their fresh ingredients, and there's probably everything you're looking for in a market ins the center of the old Avignon, but for jaded tourists like me, I thought it was over-hyped. read more

This is a food lover's rêve! You can find anything you would need from spices to pâte, meat/seafood to wine! With everything in one place, you could do all of your grocery shopping here...and I do. A great place for tourists and locals alike! read more
