Provençal markets in particular and French markets in general are a "must" experience -- the visual and culinary delights are endless. We particularly enjoy Isle-sur-la-Sorgue and Sorgues (Sundays), Bandol (Tuesdays) and Orange (Thursdays).​

​Here is an online guide. And here is a great map where you may search by day of the week for markets.
