Shopping

  • To tell you the truth, some of the best shopping comes from the local markets and antique fairs in Provence. If you like antiques and bric-a-brac, head to L’Isle sur la Sorgue on Sundays. A Season Away VillaHosts can steer you in the right direction.
  • If you are serious about antique buying, A Season Away can arrange for a private professional antiques buyer to accompany you to help sort the junk from the good stuff. They will negotiate the best prices, give you summaries of purchases and facilitate the formalities of customs clearance.
  • The “retail therapy” action gets good in Aix-en-Provence, called the Paris of Provence, because of all its high-end name brand stores and unique boutiques. A Season Away’s VillaHosts can show you the best shops, boutiques and ateliers, based on your interest and budget!
