Sunday midday there's a nice flea market on the outskirts of Carpentras in a lovely tree-lined parking lot. It has a combination of art, antiques, and bric-a-brac. Websites that mention it say “Place des Carmes“ or “parking des Platanes,“ neither of which worked on our GPS or Google maps. We found the market at the junction of Av. Jean-Jaurès (D942)... More

This market takes over the little town. Its half farmer's market and half fly market. Carpentras is a very quaint Provencal town with nice architecture and ambiance. Check out the candy shops, there have some beautiful fruit candy. More

This open air market covers all the town of Carpentras from 8 am to noon. It is really colourful. You can find nearly anything. The prices are definetly lower than in Isle sur la Sorgue More

Even though we visited this market in mid-March, it was busy, colorful, and a delight. Vendors offer sausages, cheeses, olives, vegetables, plants for the garden or the vase, fabric by the yard, local eggs and produce (I can only imagine it in mid-summer!), and a warmth and welcoming feeling that is infectious. I highly recommend it. More

27 km away from Avignon you could find Carpentras, a half hour trip by car, and every friday has a colorful food street market. You must go early in the morning if you want to park easily on the free public parking close to Port d'Orange the only one medieval gate that still exists today in the old town. With... More
