Market Day Coffee

Immerse yourselves in local Cannoise life 🥐

Marché Forville

Open everyday except Mondays 7am ~ 1pm

A great market, on the edge of the old town to browse for local delicacies including lavender, honey, soaps, cheeses (!) as well as fruit and vegetables, meat and flowers.

This is a great place to come and mingle with the locals, grab a souvenir and most importantly ~ stop for coffee ☕️

Immmerse yourself in the local culture and sip an espresso ( un café in French ) and watch the hustle and bustle of the working market around you 🥕🍎🍊
