Apt Marché

I was impressed by the varieties , freshness and low prices of fruits. They have many other items here- cheese , clothes, bread, jam , honey and many more. The market occupied many streets . You will find something to buy here. Do scheduled your visit to Apt on Saturday. Market ends 12.30 pm. After this market there was nothing much to do on a Saturday in Apt. Fortunately our visit coincide with the French Music Festival.

WOW! Everyone told us that this was one of the best (and largest) markets in Provence so we drove from CdP to check it out. My husband and I were blown away. The market seemed to go on forever because every time you turned down a street, there was another vendor period this market truly does have everything from produce, to meat, cheese, fruit, olives, pastries, art, jewelry, clothing, shoes, woven bags, whole roasted chickens, nuts, coffee, and no doubt some items we missed. We wandered around for almost 3 hours and filled 3 good-sized tote bags! We are from the United States and have never seen anything like it. All the vendors were friendly, not pushy. No yelling at you to come by. It's incredible that this market has been held every Saturday since the 12th century! Highly recommend. It's worth an hour+ drive.

We enjoyed having our lunch here. Friendly staff, affordable and nice selection on the menu.

Today, we had a chance to visit a market that's been nominated as one of the “100 most beautiful markets in France”. The Apt market has existed since the 12th century offering a variety of fresh produce from the region of Provence. Over 300 exhibitors from the south of France gather to display their products. It’s the day of the week that attacks locals from the surrounding area as well as tourists visiting the region. You can find beautiful, vibrant colour fruit and vegetables, cheese, honey, cured meats, wine, oil, freshly baked bread, sweet pastries, nougat, herbs, lavender, marinated olives and even truffles. The list of things is endless. We’ve picked up some mixed olives, that have been marinated with herbs, tiny onions, garlic and peppers. Fougasse, tomato and cheese baguette, sun-dried tomato pesto, goat's cheese with truffles and few other things. All of the goods came down a little over €100, but it was truly worth the experience and the quality of the products was superb.

It was said to be one of the most popular markets in the area. Not only did it have a whole host of locally sourced fresh produce and other food items, there were many DIY-jewelry and ornament stalls. Provence-style kitchenwares and household items were also highlights too. Get there early as most of the stalls started to close down slightly after midday!

The market here on Saturdays is such a quintessential Provence experience- the smells of the pungent cheese, fresh lavender, and bright red tomatoes that beg to be devoured are all part of the joys of wandering around this gorgeous market

Such a vibrant and authentic experience. Amazing fresh produce. Reasonable prices. Love it!

The historical old city is completely occupied by market stands. Hundreds of them covered with local products, accomplished by musik and options for having a snack or a drink. It's a "must see", a charming experience.
