Discovering the markets of Languedoc | Camping Sainte-Cécile

Sète, Pézenas, Vias, Languedoc culinary specialties, markets

Holidays are also reflected on your plate ! To discover Languedoc, visit our markets. Be in contact with local people and local producers, come and discover our culinary traditions and the Mediterranean atmosphere... You might even take advantage by learning a few words of our local slang.

It is impossible to immerse yourself in the atmosphere and culture of Languedoc without wandering between the stalls of its markets. In the Hérault, "doing your market" is quite a way of life! In places steeped in history, let yourself be guided by the scents and singing accents of the locals.

Tielles sétoises, Viassounet de Vias (creation of a local bakery), olives, Pézenas pâtés, wines, cheeses... let yourself be tempted by our varied flavours. Taste, savour, smell, touch and fill your basket with our culinary traditions... Here is the selection of our favourite markets.

Béziers, the must-see

If there is one market you can't miss, it's the Béziers market halls ! In the heart of the city centre, let yourself be seduced by its exceptional architecture. Stroll through charming streets and let yourself be guided to the market halls. From Tuesday to Sunday from 6am to 1pm, discover an institution in the region and a historic monument. Do you want some more? Every Friday takes place the flower market on Paul Riquet Alleys.

Sète, a colourful market

It is impossible to book a holiday in the south without going through the city of Sète. The mountain overlooking the Mediterranean Sea is the jewel of the Hérault coast. Look up and admire the Haussmann-style buildings that line the docks. Here, every day it’s market ! Every morning, in the halls, you will find fresh fish but above all the essential tielle. This culinary speciality (pie filled with squid, octopus, cuttlefish and spicy tomato sauce) is the pride of the city. Here, the market is colourful and reflects the image of its inhabitants. Lively, funny and unique, for a moment of conviviality, meet us at the Sète market.

Pézenas, the traditional market

Since 1434, the Pézenas market has been held every Saturday. 600 years, that this traditional market attracts shoppers. We rush to taste the small pies of Pézenas. Clothing, food and objects of all kinds... You will necessarily find what you are looking for at the Pézenas market. From 8am to 6pm, from Place Frédéric Mistral to Place des Trois Six, come and meet the 120 exhibitors.

The Vias- centre market a stone's throw from the campsite (2 km)

A few steps from the campsite, walk through the alleys of the centre of Vias and discover our favourite market. Every Wednesday and Saturday, taste the products of the region: honey, olives, cheese... Treat your taste buds and fill your basket for a cuisine with Mediterranean accents. Clothing, shoes, and accessories... the Vias market is also about clothing.

Night markets

It is certainly the most beautiful way to do your shopping: at night. The night markets are an opportunity to discover the region's craftsmen and to rediscover the city at night: Marseillan, Portiragnes, le Grau d'Agde, Sérignan, Valras-plage... the atmosphere is unique! Only during July and August, the night markets will delight holidaymakers.
