The Avignon market, Les Halles, is also known as the belly of Avignon. It stands proudly on Place Pie, the true historical centre of Avignon. “Les Halles centrales” came into existence in the late 1800’s and the market continues to this day, popular for daily food shopping for local residents and tourists alike. Inside Les Halles, some forty shopkeepers present their specialties with the best the region has to offer. Fruit, vegetables, cheese, organic meat, rotisserie, fresh fish, pastries, boulangerie, wine… A veritable treasure trove of good food! Add lively events such as the cooking demonstrations at La Petite Cuisine des Halles, bars where you can snack and a little restaurant and you will perfectly understand why Les Halles is where it’s at and where food lovers get together in the morning!
