In the heart of old Saint-Tropez, beautiful Place des Lices is usually occupied by people playing boules except on Tuesdays and Saturdays, when it is transformed into a large colourful market. In the shade of plane trees, local flavours meet flowers, plants, clothes and other artisanal creations, such as the famous hats or straw baskets. The Saint-Tropez market is always an opportunity to fill up with Mediterranean flavours! A must to do in Saint-Tropez!

4 – CLIMB UP TO THE CITADEL

Great Saint-Tropez bastion of the 17th century enthroned on the peninsula, visit the museum!

To see in Saint-Tropez, la Citadelle is a sacred place, with its moat, donjon, and counterscarps… which are home to the village’s museum of maritime history! Did you know that in the 18th century Saint-Tropez was the third largest French port in the Mediterranean? The Musée de la Citadelle invites you to discover the maritime history of Saint-Tropez and its sailors.

The participants put on their traditional uniforms and pick up their weapons to march under the peninsula’s colours. Come and see the Saint-Tropez Bravade and share unforgettable moments with family or friends.
