Markets in Vence

Discover colorful stalls, local specialties and a true Provençal atmosphere in the charming markets of Vence.

Before After

The old meat and fish market on Place Surian in the old town is currently being rebuilt. By the end of 2025, a brand new and modern food market is expected to be ready – Les Halles Surian.

Discover the local markets in Vence

If you want to feel the soul and authentic atmosphere of the city, a visit to the fragrant markets of Vence is an absolute must.

Here you’ll meet the inhabitants of the city in their daily lives: some shop for fresh produce for dinner, others shop for lunch, while others simply enjoy a leisurely stroll through the stalls and soak up the atmosphere.

Most markets take place in the Place du Grand Jardin in the center of the city. Just across the road, under the shady plane trees, are cozy cafés and restaurants where you can sit down and enjoy a good lunch while watching the buzzing crowds.

Local, sustainable and organic food

Sustainability is increasingly important to both producers and consumers. That’s why Vence is committed to promoting a wider range of local, responsibly produced and organic goods – both at the markets and in the city’s shops.

Special efforts to strengthen local trade

The traditional markets in Vence, like many other places, are feeling the pressure of new suburbs with large supermarkets and the rapid growth of e-commerce.

To reverse this trend, the city has chosen to focus on strengthening and maintaining the local commercial life. At the same time, Vence supports a number of cultural events throughout the year for the benefit of locals and visitors alike.
