Huile d'Olive et Herbes de Provence

Stalls along Boulevard de Lices sell everything "Provence" on Market Day.

I took these on a lightly overcast day, Saturday September 27, 2003.

If you go to Arles, Market days are Wed and Saturday along Blvd Lices between old Ramparts and rue Forum. I recommend it for a great late morning, but it is gone by approx. 2PM so don't sleep in too late.


Spices

The colors and smells of all the spices.


Roti @ the market
Fresh roasted chicken, quail, pork, etc. in any size or slice for a quick picnic.

Fleurs


Poor Canard

Is it his fate to become a new housepet, or dejeuner------------->>?

Quoi??

Fromage

Lots and lots of cheeses from Provence

    This page deserves accolades by the bucketful. I look forward to returning to Arles this year especially since thanks to you, I now realise just how much of it I haven't seen before. Thank you Dave.

    Great web page, photos and tips! Went to Arles and Avignon in 2005 but briefly and it's all a bit of a blur. Thanks...

    Nice pages! You're right about Mistral: it can be irritating, making people (slightly?) crazy. But, at the same time, it's cleaning the sky, moving to the famous "deep blue" so beautiful and unique...

    Very useful tips for my upcoming trip in August 09. I was planning to ask someone upon my arrival if the mistral ever blows in August, but after reading your tips, I guess not. Excellent pages!

    I love your Arles page, Dave. Embarrassingly, I first knew of Arles and the Roman ruins through 'Ronin'. I knew of Orange from Space night, a beautiful place. I hope you can still smoke in the forum for if I ever make it there!

    Great pages! Have you read "Lust for Life" about the life of Van Gogh? It's fascinating!
