l'isle-sur-la-sorgue market

真的是整个小镇都在欢庆一样, 不过吃饭时间每间餐厅都坐满了人, 几乎一位难求, 两点以后大部份餐厅都不接客人了, 如果不打算只吃市集的点心, 要早点去吃午餐

The Sunday morning market, church bells ring, cars arriving from all directions hoping for a parking space..( come EARLY) or park on edge of Ville.Everything you could possibly hope to find is here, the market alongside the Brocante lines the Quai's meanders through the town fills the squares and narrow streets with sounds and scents not to be missed.Take time to have a coffee i the numerous cafes and bars, reserve a table if you plan to have lunch in the summer months (June-September) they are always busy but particularly so at this time.Listen for the strains of Jazz? yes there is probably a street jam happening , sit on the kerb and take in the atmosphere by a CD and remeber this visit in the dreary winter days and you will tap your feet and smile!

This is a beautiful little Provence town and the Sunday market brings venders and visitors from all around, locals and tourists alike - though it was definitely more locals when we were there. They line the streets with food, crafts, clothing - all through the center of town and along the river. There are really a lot of things to see and browse and buy. People are sit outside and eat at all the cafes and restaurants along the water, and the shops are all open, too. It's very atmospheric. It lasts into mid-afternoon. Well worth driving here on a Sunday morning, if you are reasonably nearby.

We visited in early October and arrived about 9:45. There was lots of parking on the Cours Victor Hugo and an easy walk into the market. There were vendors selling linens and other household items, foods, soaps, shoes and other apparel, plus "antiques" or other attic items. It was crowded but not horrible. Very friendly.We thought the little town itself was really cute and returned on another day just to enjoy the regular shops and cafes. Notice all the waterwheels and get an understanding of the town history and industry to get a good appreciation of this place.

not so crowded on thursday local products lavender honey, goat cheese, veggie vegetables, win expert

Antiques seemed quite pricey but overall there was something for everyone...picked up some reasonably priced gift items to being home...even at the end of October it was pretty packed. Can't imagine what high season is like. We're glad we went though.

Everything from carrots to shoes. Jewelry to small electronics. We were not there for the big Sunday market which is supposed to be great. This was a local, I think Thursday market. It's fun to give a quick walk through, but it's nothing special. Great produce,and meat. The Wednesday market in St Remy is much better.

Really enjoyed wandering around this gorgeous little town with a canal that runs right through the centre. The markets were great but so very busy. Lots of beautiful fresh foods.

Known as the Little Venice of France, the Sunday market in this larger and more commercial Provence town has a variety of wares—antiques, used items, fruits and vegetables, meats and cheeses and the typical Provence products. It is lively and very crowded. We secured a parking space only because it was handicapped. A visit to this town on a typical, non-market day would allow you to enjoy what this town is known for—its many moss laden waterwheels moving water down the streams that were previously used for the textile industry. There are many river side restaurants and shops.

Very popular market with lots of selection of the usual stuff Plus the antiques for which the market is known. Lots of real antiques but also surprisingly pricey for other things that we would consider garage sale items. Very charming location where the Sorgue river splits and creates this small island. Lots of places to eat. But if you don't arrive early be prepared to walk a bit from where you can find parking. Most enjoyable.

The antique market on a Sunday is worth the trip ,but not only you'll have fun browsing among old items ,there is also a real vegetable and fruit market ,cheeses and sausages ,tablecloths and cloths ,bags and sauces,all you expect to find in a real French market.Everyone is nice and happy to give you a try of their specialties .The village itself is beautiful and has a lot of shops that are worth a visit too.Many creative women have opened their shops renovating old houses and selling mostly things they made; very interesting. Make sure you arrive early and spend time just before lunch because around 1 pm ,as if ivy magic....all disappears and you realise it is time to go for lunch in one of the many good restaurants to have lunch....

It was sort of fun to walk around the market on Sunday. But, it is very crowded and we didn't even go in high season and there is a lot of repeat of stuff. For a better idea of what's available at the market see my blog entry at trishmcgee.comOne tip, don't buy the nougat at the market stands. It's really expensive and I think they cut it bigger than you'd expect. Also, I wasn't impressed with the fruit and veggie vendors, they sure didn't seem like local farmers to me - On the other hand, the cheese and sausage people put out good products.

This bustling market on a Sunday was worth a visit. We loved the local produce and lavender stalls. The small bistros and cafes were very busy, but worth the wait. Well worth planning a trip to this village.

This beautiful town on the banks of the Sorgue river has a vibrant, bustling market every Sunday and Thursday. The products range from olives, meats, fabrics, vegetables, skincare... We stocked up on roast chicken and smoked saucisson, delicious tasty tomatoes and salads for lunch. You could not want anything more. Walk along the river banks and browse, taste and smell to get an idea of the flavours of Provence.

To begin with, L'Isle Sur la Sorgue is one of the most picturesque, exciting little towns in Provence. We stayed in a B&B nearby & drove there on a day trip to experience the weekly outdoor market that we had heard so much about. Definitely not a disappointment! The market endlessly meanders through the narrow cobblestone streets. So much to see & buy, we had to remind ourselves of what we could carry home to the states. Plus the various delicious foods being offered were fantastic. There are nearly 300 antique & art shops throughout plus 2nd hand shops. It is a shoppers paradise! We actually returned again the next day & an outdoor antique fair was going on. We stayed on to have dinner at a fabulous restaurant & promised ourselves we would return to stay in this charming town surrounded by the river Sorgue. It has canals & bridges throughout with artistic statues along the way & oodles of flowers. Certainly a town not to be missed.
