The Antibes Markets Worth Arriving Early For

Antibes remains one of the French Riviera's best towns for local markets.

Compared to some of the more polished luxury areas nearby, Antibes still feels authentic and genuinely local, especially in the mornings before the crowds arrive.

Marché Provençal

The Marché Provençal is Antibes' most famous market and absolutely worth arriving early for.

Fresh produce, flowers, cheeses, seafood and local delicacies fill the covered market each morning with many of the Riviera's best restaurants sourcing ingredients directly from here.

Old Town Streets

Beyond the main market, the surrounding streets of Old Antibes are filled with smaller artisan shops, wine stores and local food producers.

The atmosphere is best before midday while the town still feels relaxed and local.

What to Buy

Popular market purchases include:

- Local olive oils

- Provençal spices

- French rosé

- Handmade ceramics

- Fresh pastries and cheeses

Antibes is the perfect place to either start your Riviera day charter itinerary or organise a quick first stop before heading out on the water as you can pick up all of your food for the day and enjoy the day fully on the water.
