It is a Cora supermarket and offers everything from barbecue charcoal to Foie Gras. There is also a little supermarket in Vézénobres and several supermarkets around Uzès. 

The town centre of Uzès also offers plenty of opportunity to find more local products. Of particular note is the weekly market in Uzès, which is without doubt one of the best in Provence. This takes place every Saturday morning in the historical town centre in Place des Herbes and is always extremely lively, with the atmosphere enhanced by street entertainers. If you want the best choice it is better to be there early. Everything is on offer, with a huge choice of truly fantastic regional fare ranging from cheeses, olives, tapenade and patés to wines and honey, fruit, meat, fish and vegetables. There are also plenty of gift stalls offering provencal pottery, soaps and candles to name but a few items.

There is a daily bread van during the summer that comes to St Etienne de l’Olm. It usually arrives at 10.45 in the morning and can be heard tooting its horn !

The town of Nîmes has a very nice pedestrian centre offering a lot of shopping possibilities.
