Marché André Vidau in Saint-Étienne-du-Grès is a Provençal fruit and vegetable producer market dating from 1935. The municipality reports an average of 440 producers and 230 buyers per opening day. It does not state the period used to calculate those averages. They should therefore not be described as attendance at the latest session or a result for 2026. Its commercial significance is the opportunity for agricultural suppliers and professional purchasers to meet directly.
Sessions take place on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. The published daily sequence separates professional admission at 14:00, the buying signal at 16:00 and deliveries from 16:30; consumer access begins later, at 17:00. Arriving when the gate opens does not therefore imply immediate collection of purchased goods. A buyer should incorporate the session’s sequence into the vehicle’s onward schedule, including the time needed to inspect lots and arrange loading.
A published profile of a business trading here illustrates links with other Provençal distribution points and seasonal sales of French fruit. That does not prove that every product sold throughout the market is French. The product list retains broad fruit and vegetable groups rather than assigning a complete species list to each stand. Origin and availability need to be checked for the actual lot, together with grading, presentation and any tolerance for minor defects or mixed sizes.
An archived RNM price PDF can be found on the municipal website, but its title identifies Avignon–Cavaillon. Buyers should compare offers on an equivalent net-weight, grade and packaging basis, then confirm the final quantity and payment arrangement. For a larger purchase, specify pallet requirements and the loading window rather than planning transport solely around the opening time of the gate.
Professionals using the online access-card top-up service first need to obtain account credentials from the market office. The published office telephone is +33 4 90 49 19 58. A seller should separately enquire about admission of a new participant, vehicle category and display space. Before harvesting, agree lot identification and the handling of unsold goods. These are organisational preparation points: an entry card, allocation of a selling location and a sales agreement address different matters. None should be assumed to replace the others or to guarantee that a particular quantity will find a buyer at the desired price.
