  • 1. L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

    Not one shop but more than 200 make this little town France’s most important antiques and second-hand centre after Paris. Grouped into seven centres, most are open Saturday to Monday, with a market on Sunday mornings. Antiques fairs at Easter and around 15 August.

  • 2. Peasant Market, Velleron

    Provence isn’t short of food markets, but this one is special. It’s held in the evening and stall-holders must sell homegrown or raised produce only. Monday to Saturday from 6pm, April to September and Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 4:30pm the rest of the year.

  • 3. Les Olivades, Avignon

    The company has been producing and printing Provençal fabrics since 1818. It’s now the only such outfit in the region, with materials, table linen and wedding gowns.

  • 4. Chocolaterie Castelain, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    An unpromising looking warehouse, but the chocolate wizardry within is dazzling. Enter only if you have iron self-control.

  • 5. Les Délices du Luberon, L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

    Another warehouse and full, this time, of olives, olive preparations and olive derivatives such as tapenade or melet (fennel, peppers, olives and anchovies).

  • 6. Edith Mézard, Notre-Dame-des-Lumières

    The little chateau near Goult provides a perfect setting for beautifully embroidered clothes and a great range of linen for the house.

  • 7. Confiserie Artisanale Denis Ceccon, Apt

    Apt is the proud world capital of crystallized fruit, and Denis Ceccon is one of the few remaining artisans to work by traditional methods – try his apricots.

  • 8. Linda Lorentz, St Martin de Castillon

    Californian Linda Lorentz is one of Provence’s best goat’s cheese producers. Find her by snaking up the road from the village towards Viens, or at Apt’s market.

  • 9. Silvain Frères, St Didier

    This is a farming and fruit-growing family also known for their own delicious nougat. There’s honey to be had here, as well.

  • 10. Château Pasquié, Mormoiron

    The chateau has lovely grounds and first-rate Mont Ventoux wines.
