Forville Market

If you hear a bit of distant chatter and catch the scent of Mediterranean herbs in the air, chances are you’ve arrived at the right place. A beloved local institution, Forville Market is where people meet, mingle, and indulge in good food. Spread across 3,000 square metres, this covered hall in Provençal style was inaugurated in 1929, replacing the older wooden market. Though the building itself is a large block of concrete, its ochre colour and decorative touches, typicall of the region, help it blend beautifully with the surrounding streetscape. But here’s the thing: a market isn’t something you just admire from the outside. It’s a lively, immersive experience that you can only fully appreciate once you step inside — right into the heart of the action. So don’t wait — step in and meet the fifty or so local vendors who are ready to welcome you with big smiles, cheerful chatter, and a taste of the best regional produce.
