Can I buy a walking staff in Arles?

Can anyone tell me if there is a shop in Arles where I can buy a wooden walking staff?
Thankyou!

There are 2 outdoor markets every week in Arles, on Wednesday and Saturday. I'd be surprised if there wasn't some stall with walking sticks. Otherwise the Office de Tourisme d'Arles might know where you can find what you want (there is a Decathlon, for instance), or they might even have some for sale themselves.
If unsuccessful in Arles, find a nice stick in the forest and carve a unique and personal staff. Bon chemin!
 
Ask in the Alburgue to look in the hikerbox (items left behind) surprise what you will find. Also at many road crossing people discard them. Recycle. Bien camino
