Les Halles d'Avignon is a lively indoor market that has been the city's culinary hub for decades. Housed in a modern building, its most distinctive feature is the spectacular vertical garden covering the entire south façade, designed by botanist Patrick Blanc. Inside, the market buzzes with vendors selling the freshest Provençal produce: sun-ripened fruits and vegetables, artisan cheeses, olives, cured meats, and a wide array of seafood from the Mediterranean. You'll also find bakeries, spice stalls, and flower shops. The atmosphere is authentic and convivial, with locals doing their daily shopping and visitors sampling regional specialties. Many stalls offer ready-to-eat dishes, and there are small bars where you can enjoy a glass of wine with oysters.
