Amazing food, beautiful clothes and accessories everywhere! The Place des Lices market has something for everyone. Every Tuesday and Saturday morning, from 8:00am – 1:00pm, the French make way for an open-air market (“marché“) that is set up on the Place.
St. Tropez is known for this market, and locals come from far and wide to shop. It is only a short, few minutes’ walk from the port. Of course, it gets very crowded! Therefore, if you want to beat the crowd, you should get there early!
Amazing food to taste!
Not only does this fantastic market sell a huge range of delicious foods, breads and pastries, but you can find clothes, bags, ceramics and souvenirs. There are so many vendors with beautiful unique clothes. I found the nicest dresses and beach cover-ups for terrific prices. Yes, this is a shoppers paradise!
Locals head to the market early to secure the freshest produce. If I was not staying at a hotel, I would have purchased meats, vegetables and desserts for a delicious dinner.
There is everything under the sun at the wonderful Place des Lices market! Moreover, the square is very nice with lots of shade trees for sunny mornings and early afternoons. A must-visit if you are in St. Tropez when the market is happening. Enjoy shopping till you drop at this terrific St. Tropez market! Luckily however, if you don’t have the ability to cook all the fresh market foods, there are many excellent restaurants in St. Tropez.
