The provençal market, a ritual worth experiencing
In Provence Verte, the market isn’t just a place to shop — it’s a way of life. People linger, chat with the producers, taste before they buy. For guests staying at Bastide de Basson, it’s one of the most authentic experiences to enjoy during a visit.
The Correns market
Just minutes from the property, the village market offers seasonal fruit and vegetables, local goat cheese, olive oil, and wood-fired bread. A deliberately modest scale, true to the character of the village itself.
The markets nearby
For a livelier experience, the markets in Cotignac and Brignoles are well worth the trip — true local institutions where producers from across Provence Verte gather each week. Here you’ll find everything needed for a proper Provençal table: heirloom tomatoes, marinated olives, tapenade, lavender honey, and of course a bottle of rosé from a neighbouring vineyard.
Putting a meal together at the Bastide
Thanks to the professional kitchen at Bastide de Basson, nothing could be simpler than bringing your market finds home and preparing lunch for friends or family on the terrace’s long table. For groups who prefer to be guided, a private chef can also design a menu around the day’s market produce, on request.
