Provence is renowned for its markets. One of the best in our region is the Sunday market in Coustellet, about 20 minutes drive along the D2 , just past Gordes.
The market runs from Easter and finishes the Sunday before Christmas.
All of the produce is grown locally, this means you can only buy what is in season and you know its fresh.
In April the market is awash with Spring fruit and vegetables whilst in Autumn we are blessed with warm colours and food to provide winter dishes.
These ceppes are a real Autumn treat, at 25€ a kilo not cheap but incredibly tasty!
One of the biggest 'mushrooms ' I have seen, and they sold in minutes, there is no crisis when it comes to a French mans stomach!
This stall sells everything to do with Muscat grapes from juice to jam and the grapes them selves pefect with cheese.
Peppers of all sizes!
A very seasonal menu for Sunday dinner is offered in one of the many local restaurants.
Or perhaps something a little lighter and healthier, indeed my choice, a dozen Oysters
October, November & December are three of the best months for shell fish and crustaceans.
