On a sunny Saturday morning in Aix-en-Provence, France, vendors set up shop all over town for the weekly market.
The city’s historic Gothic downtown looks like something from a Disney movie. The medieval architecture, cobbled streets, and open-air markets make visitors feel like they’ve gone back in time.
Aix hosts markets every day of the week: A food market in the central square, a flea market, a flower market, an arts-and-crafts market, and more.
The streets are filled with natives and tourists looking to buy beautiful handmade jewelry, soaps made with Provence-grown lavender, local fruits and vegetables, and fresh meats and cheeses. Aix enjoys leisure time, and even the most mundane grocery shopping can be magical at the market.
