Wednesday in Arles fits into our itinerary. Is it comparable to other provence market days ie. St. Remy?

I haven't been to the St-Remy market, but the Arles market is huge. Quaint and quiet it's not, but they have everything you could wish for and more.

Hello, I agree it is much larger. I really enjoyed it and recommend it. I have been to many of the smaller markets such as St-Remy, enjoyed them also very much.

hi there,

i loved the arles market ... i didn't go to the st. remy market so i can't compare. however, we originally went to arles to see the coliseum, theatre, etc. and ended up spending the majority of our time at the market. it was fantastic! we actually wish we got to arles earlier to take advantage of the market. enjoy!

The Arles market is enormous (get there early - parking's a pain)by comparison to St-Rémy, but both are great markets. You'll probably find more local artisanal stuff at St-Rémy, but then, you can find that stuff in the stores in Arles, too, so you're not sacrificing anything either way.

The only problem with the Arles market, if you're buying produce in particular, is that there are so many stalls selling the same things that you inevitably buy what you think is the perfect barquette of strawberries or the perfect eggplant, and then see one that seems just slightly better at a slightly better price about a quarter mile away. Don't let it get to you.
