Cucuron
If you’ve seen “A Good Year”, you have been to Cucuron without realizing it. The famous date scene was filmed here in front of the pond.
I have been enjoying coming to Cucuron on Tuesdays where you’ll find the local market. What I like about this village is that it has a very local vibe. The regulars can be found drinking coffee and enjoying a chat at “L’Etang”. It is the first cafe on the left when you arrive at the front of the big pond. I love just sitting here and watching the world go by. I am even beginning to recognize some of the locals from other villages in the area. Cucuron, especially on Tuesdays has a vibe. I love it here and am finding that I am going more and more just to sit and enjoy the scene.
The market here is small but quite nice. There is a bit. more in the summer but I would say that if you are just looking for something to bring home to eat, you will find it here. Otherwise, you will find a bit of clothing, brocante, etc., but, again, it’s limited. Do go and enjoy the atmosphere and be sure to go in the morning as the market finishes at 1:00. This has become my favrorite village to go in the area.
I’m there most Tuesdays. Maybe I’ll see you there.
