The L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Provencal Market is a weekly food and general market that takes place every Thursday and Sunday in the centre of the Provençal town with over 200 stalls. This sprawling market runs along the banks of the Sorgue river, with vendors setting up stalls from the morning until the late afternoon.
This traditional French outdoor market offers a good selection of local and regional produce, including fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables from local growers. You’ll find various artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, and olives prepared in different styles, all staples of the local diet. The food stalls focus on quality ingredients sourced from the surrounding Vaucluse region.
The market also features non-food items like flowers, artisanal products, clothing, and fabrics. Vendors sell fashion accessories, handmade items, and decorative objects alongside the food stalls. It’s a practical place to pick up both daily necessities and occasional finds.
The Thursday market draws both locals doing their weekly shopping and tourists looking to experience a typical French market. It’s busier than a regular grocery trip but more relaxed than the major antique events the town is famous for. The market gives visitors a straightforward look at how locals shop and what products are popular in the region.
