Umbrian-Provençal market in Tübingen

In addition to typical Provençal food (ratatouille, the puff pastry „Tourton“, pickled duck, the finest cheeses and wines and much more.) you can immerse yourself in a world full of scents: whether soaps, essential oils or smoking sticks - there is always a gentle scent of lemon or lavender in the air. Insider tip: the confectionery of Leonard Parli, the traditional chocolate house from Aix with its original confectionery („calissons“).

Are you an art lover? Then you won't be able to get enough of the wealth of handicrafts on display at the Umbrian-Provençal market, ranging from watercolors and jewelry to wooden tiles, pottery and printed fabrics.

Against the picturesque backdrop of the old town, Perugian tradespeople present classic Umbrian handicrafts such as paintings on wooden panels, wooden sculptures, ceramics and handmade leather goods as well as gold and silver jewelry. Culinary specialties are also a must: Try Italian classics such as pasta, truffle sauce or porchetta (suckling pig) as well as all kinds of cheese and sausage products made from beef or sheep from the Umbria region. Also at the start: Olio Extravergine di Oliva and all kinds of „Dolci“ such as Cantuccini, Torciglione or Fave dei Morti.

One highlight is the Children's Festival on Saturday in the courtyard of the Pfleghof, where children can bend figures out of balloons, paint sun signs or press their own apple cider free of charge. On Sales Sunday the shops in Tübingen city center invite you to enjoy relaxed and stress-free shopping. Those who like to be sporty can also prove themselves on Sunday at the Heritage Run through the old town of Tübingen. The start is in Wilhelmstra&l;e before the 10-kilometer route leads through the Anlagenpark into Mühlstraße.
