The very heart of every French town or little village is its market and those on the French Riviera are possibly the most colourful and vibrant you'll find anywhere. Filled with the distinct aroma of olives, herbs and spices, flowers, beautiful fruit and vegetables, they are exciting places to visit. Most traders are local selling their own produce, incredible wild mushrooms, delicious home-made jams and honey or exquisite goat’s cheese. And all the markets will have someone selling wonderful fragrant natural soaps. The stalls will normally start packing up around midday or just after.
