In the heart of Provence, in the charming village of Bédoin, at the foot of Mont Ventoux, you will find one of the region’s most convivial markets. The Bédoin market, well-known throughout the Vaucluse, attracts visitors and locals alike every week in search of quality local products, traditional crafts and an authentic experience. Whether you are on holiday or living in the region, a visit to the colourful, gastronomic market remains a highlight.
A Provençal tradition in the heart of Bédoin
Bédoin’s weekly market takes place every Monday morning, from 7am to 1.30pm, all year round. During these hours, the village centre is transformed into a real Provençal scene, with stalls full of fresh vegetables, sun-drenched fruit and local specialities. At the market with all the colourful products displayed, the smell of Provençal herbs and the warm smiles of the shopkeepers welcome you.
From early April to late September, the offer is complemented by a farmers’ market, every Friday from 16:30 to 19:00. At this market, local farmers sell their produce straight from the field to the plate. It is a great opportunity to taste local produce and meet the local farmers who work the land in this sunny region.
Flavours and crafts: the soul of the market
Bédoin market is much more than a place for shopping. It is a voyage of discovery into the terroir of the Vaucluse, with local produce and handicrafts, activities passed down from generation to generation. Among the local produce of Provence you will find fruity olive oil, fragrant honey, farmhouse cheeses and wines from the surrounding vineyards. Gourmets will not want to miss the artisanal charcuterie, tapenades and crusty breads.
Provençal crafts are also in high demand. From pottery to colourful fabrics and lavender-scented soaps, each item tells a story – the story of Provence and its traditions. Stroll past the stalls and you are sure to pick up an authentic souvenir, while supporting local artisans at the same time.
