The market Les Halles is indoors and large, all the produce looked great. We purchased from a number of sellers, croissants, baguette, sausage, cheese Comté, fruit and veg. Heirloom tomatoes, figs, lettuce,...

Dinner was back to The Palmier, this time the seafood platter; fresh oysters, fresh mussels, prawns and sea snails. You can keep the sea snails. Followed by a very nice Camargue bull stew a local speciality.Read more
