When the summer sun dips below the vineyards and the sky turns to gold, something magical happens across the region – it’s night market season.

From early July through to early September, the villages and bastide towns around Parc St Vincent come alive with music, food stalls, and the warm chatter of neighbours and visitors alike. It’s an experience that perfectly blends French flair, good company, and mouth-watering local flavours – all under the stars.

🧺 Top Tips for a Great Market Night

  • Bring cash – many stalls don’t take cards.

  • Arrive early for a seat – tables fill up quickly, especially in July and August.

  • Pack cutlery, plates & glasses – some venues offer them, but locals often bring their own.

  • Come hungry – think duck, grilled sausages, fresh salads, desserts and wine galore.

  • Stay late – there’s often live music, dancing, and a wonderful community vibe.

Whether you’re holidaying at Parc St Vincent for the first time or returning for another summer of memories, the night markets are a must. Soak up the buzz, discover flavours from the region, and make your summer evenings truly special.
