Grab Your Luberon Market Days Schedule Here (2026)
There’s nothing more annoying than turning up at the wrong market, at the wrong time. That’s why I compiled for you the current schedules of Luberon market days, and I update it regularly.
I live here in the Luberon and go to markets year-round. My personal favorites are: Tuesdays in Cucuron, Fridays in Lourmarin, Sundays in Saint-Martin-de-la-Brasque .

Note
Two main kinds of Luberon markets:
Traditional (Provençal) — a mix of food and non-food (fresh produce, cheese, charcuterie, crafts, souvenirs). Great for the full Provençal experience. But sometimes you’ll see products from outside the Luberon (like wines and cheeses from other French regions) or fruits and veggies that are not in season.
Farmers (marchés paysans) — local growers selling their own seasonal harvest. What you see is what’s growing right now in the Luberon. Non-food stalls may appear, but food is the focus.

Weekly Provençal Markets (save this image)
8am – 1pm
some are seasonal; most are open all year
Tip
Popular markets like Lourmarin, Gordes, Roussillon, and Apt get crowded fast. In summer, parking alone can eat up your morning. Consider staying the night before so you can start early before the crowds arrive. Browse accommodations here.
A traditional Provençal market features the region’s best food and non-food products. Here, you will find: fresh fruits and vegetables, goat cheese, charcuterie, nougat, bread, homemade jams, herbs, honey, Luberon wine…and flowers, soap, lavender, ceramics, textiles, and more.
If you’ve never been to a Provençal market, a traditional market is what you’d like to experience if you want that “South of France” vibe.
The biggest towns and villages have weekly markets all year long. Generally, markets are from 8h until 13h, though most stalls start packing up after noon.
Some markets are seasonal, only operating a few months per year especially in summer.
😍 Don’t have a car? You can join a Luberon market small-group tour (max: 8 people). Here are my picks if you are based in Aix-en-Provence, Marseille, and Avignon.

Luberon Farmers Markets / Marchés Paysans (save this image)
Mornings at 8am-1pm; evenings at 5-8pm
Farmers markets are where the Luberon’s local growers sell their farm-fresh, in-season harvest—from fruits and vegetables to meat and goat cheese. It’s mostly a food market, although there can also be food trucks and non-food stalls.
If you’re wondering “What’s the difference between a farmers market and the fresh section of a traditional Provençal market?”, let me explain:
In a farmers market, they only sell seasonal harvest. So this means, you will not find bananas or avocados there (also, we don’t grow these in Provence!)…or find summer fruits (melons and tomatoes) sold in December.
Most traditional markets also sell seasonal harvest but you can also find not-in-season food items there (like you would in a supermarket).
Note
Aside from on-the-ground experience, I scour local tourism sites, individual village websites, and Facebook pages to cross-check information for you. But even if I strive to keep details up-to-date, schedules and venues can change anytime, especially in small villages. I update this guide regularly, but always verify before you go.

Plan Your Luberon Market Visit
There you have it! The list of markets from Monday to Sunday.
If it’s your first time in Provence, I recommend catching one of the weekly traditional Provençal markets that offer food (e.g. fruits, vegetables, honey, goat cheese) and non-food (e.g. art, ceramics, textiles) products.
If you love fresh, seasonal produce and would like to cook up a storm, then visit the farmers markets. The evening ones are especially interesting, as you may also find food trucks, live music, and jolly locals.
