The Uzès Markets: A Must-See Provençal Experience During Your Stay
Staying at La Maison du Passage in Martignargues means enjoying the very best of Provence — and the famous Uzès markets are just a short drive away. Known as some of the most beautiful markets in southern France, they offer an unforgettable immersion into Provençal life, with two distinct atmospheres each week: Wednesday and Saturday.
The Uzès market on Wednesday is a favorite among locals for its calm and authentic atmosphere. Set around the charming Place aux Herbes and nearby streets, it showcases high-quality local produce: sun-ripened fruits and vegetables, goat cheeses, artisan breads, honey, olive oil and regional specialties. It’s the perfect morning for a gentle stroll, casual conversations with producers, and assembling a delicious picnic to enjoy later by the pool at La Maison du Passage.
The Saturday market in Uzès is one of the largest and liveliest in Provence. Spreading throughout the historic center around the Duchy of Uzès, it is a true feast for the senses. Colorful stalls overflow with olives, spices, flowers, textiles, soaps, wines and handmade crafts. The atmosphere is vibrant, joyful and unmistakably Provençal — ideal for discovering local flavors and bringing home memorable souvenirs.
After your market visit, return to La Maison du Passage for a moment of pure relaxation: a refreshing dip in the pool, a private spa session in your suite, or a peaceful dinner on the terrace. A perfect balance of discovery, comfort and Provençal charm.
