Markets in Cannes

Discover the top Cannes markets

Updated

Market days are a way of life in Provence and the Côte d'Azur. They originated in the 12th century, when farmers and craftsmen would come to nearest town to sell their wares, or engage in bartering agreements.

Not much has changed since those days - the market is still the place to come for locally grown produce of all shapes and sizes.

These three local markets are very popular.

GambettaEvery day (mornings only), closed on Mondays in winter.
La BoccaEvery day (mornings only), closed on Mondays in winter.
ForvilleEvery day, all year round.
