Hotels near Marché Forville

Marché Forville is the covered food market that supplies the kitchens of Cannes, tucked just behind the Vieux Port at the foot of Le Suquet. Under its roof, stalls pile up Provençal produce, cheeses, olives, flowers, and fish landed that morning, in a burst of colour and noise.

It is the best place to assemble a picnic for the Lérins islands or simply to see how locals shop. On Mondays the food stalls give way to a brocante flea market, when antique dealers and bric-a-brac sellers take over the hall instead.

Pro Tip: Go before noon, Tuesday to Sunday, when the produce is freshest. Grab a socca (chickpea pancake) from a nearby stall for a cheap Riviera snack while you browse.
