There’s something extra tasty about produce from the south of France, there’s no doubt about it. This huge market is your chance to taste some of it and perhaps take some home with you 🙂

Wine, foie gras, and a dizzying selection of fruit ‘n’ veg are on offer, as well as other regional specialties, accompanied by tradition festive music and with the added bonus of a breathtaking view on Notre-Dame, all of which is just a few minutes from our hotels!
