The markets of the Diois

This is where you will see the REAL Diois! A meeting point for regular market-goers and local producers, colourful, lively and generous.

Going to the market means living at a different rhythm, far from the routine of supermarket shopping. So, fill up your baskets with goat cheese (picodon), a sparkling Clairette de Die, walnuts and fragrant walnut oil, lamb raised on our mountain pastures, lavender honey, a sun-drenched bottle of wine, little squares of fresh ravioles, red fruit juice and jam, characterful artisan beer, wood-fired oven bread, organic fruit and vegetables, natural cosmetics, aromatic plant infusions, etc.

Die Market

Wednesday and Saturday morning

Die market is a large one and brings the town centre to life. Over 120 stall holders await you (not quite as many in winter). You can buy fruit and vegetables, local charcuterie and cheeses, meat and fish – but also jewellery and textiles. The colourful stalls will attract your eye and the food will stimulate your appetite.

This is a lively market and you may well hear the strains of music! Put down your basket, take a seat at one of the cafés and soak up the special atmosphere of this market.

La-Motte-Chalancon market

Monday morning

The Provencal market of La-Motte-Chalancon adapts itself to the seasons. In summer, around 70 stall holders come and enlarge the the smaller winter market: goat cheese, fruit and vegetables, Clairette de Die, olives from Nyons and local wines – a real Provencal market!

The arrival of summer witnesses the flourishing several more markets add to the scene during the day or in the evening. These are events which are a shame to miss, with their 100% Diois atmosphere! Check the events diary.
