Plan to be in Arles for the whopping Saturday morning market. You'll find all of Camargue's best produce: salt, rice, goat's cheese, saucisson d’Arles (bull-meat sausage) and so much more. Stalls line both sides of the street as visitors and locals alike browse, sample and buy everything from lavender honey to baby chicks.
The scene shifts to bd Émile Combes on Wednesday morning. Both markets date to a 1584 decree of Henri III: the Saturday one has over 400 stalls, stretching 2.5km, while the Wednesday one is relatively modest, at 300 stalls.
