the provence\
scent trail
It would be impossible to miss the Verdon markets or not smell all the scents that haunt the villages on a daily basis. The Gorges du Verdon are full of small villages with a rich historical heritage, ideal for relaxation, leisure and outdoor activities. But would it be possible to relax, go for a swim or climb without tasting some good, quality produce first?
The Verdon markets
where the five senses meet
The best thing to do in Provence is visit the local farmers’ markets, which are full of fresh produce and Provencal specialties, and here we’ve got just what you need, with several to choose from every day from Tuesday to Sunday morning.
