Food market in Provence. Seafood section

Markets in Provence are must seen, They are as good as museum or gallery.
Markets are morning affairs, the produce is super-fresh – by noon the stallholders and sellers already pack up and go back home. At any market you can find fruit&vegetables, meat&fish(seafood), local production like herbs, lavender, soap, lavender honey (herbs and lavender provide great pickings for bees), liqueurs, oils, pottery, olive wood kitchenware, provencal fabrics (nowadays you can find also bright african prints).

At 12-13 is good time to get good discounts, but better to come earlier and in this case you have a chance to buy delicious food like paella(this spanish dish is extremely popular in Provence, very great cooked, you can buy it at market. Often it is over by 10 a.m)

It's necessary to see how butchers cut meat and make thin slices of meat, it is a kind of performance.
And seafood market section... Pleasant smells of fresh fish, smell of the sea and singing sellers often dressed like sailors.
