Where to buy fabric in Provence, France

[Margrethe N.]

I am going on vacation in Europe with my family this summer and will be travelling through Provence, France. Does anyone know of a good and not too terribly expensive store that sells the famous printed fabrics? Any ideas?

Hi Margarethe, If you are looking for fabric with the Provence patterns then possibly your best bet will be at local markets in the towns. Most towns have a market once a week - you could as when and where at your hotel. Other than that, there are gift shops which stock household items made from fabrics with Provence patterns on them. There is a quilt shop in Nice but it does not stock Provencal fabrics - just regular quilting fabrics at very high prices! Fabric is not cheap in Europe, be prepared. But have a great time anyway. Me love France!

Hi Rita, Thank you for your prompt reply! I know about the fabric prices in Europe - I am from Denmark, but have not yet travelled in France outside Paris. Thank you for the tip about the local markets - can't wait to experience it all. Best wishes, Margrethe
