Nestled in the heart of the south of France, a stone's throw from St Tropez, the open air flea market at La Croix Valmer is a treasure trove for any traveler and lover of flea market-finds. This "pop-up" market travels along the coast on different days of the week making it accessible to holidaymakers all along the Cote d'Azur....Vibrant stalls brim with an array of fresh produce, from plump, sun-kissed olives to delectable charcuterie that tantalize your taste buds. The air is infused with the intoxicating aroma of “Savon de Marseille” soaps, their natural scents adding a touch of Provençal charm (I especially love the lavender and the lemon zest). Strolling through the market, you’ll discover lightweight summer dresses, perfect for the Mediterranean climate, alongside chic sandals of every colour and style. And trust me, with the summer heat at the south of france, market wear will be your go-to!
expect to find "tunique de plages", lace kaftans, straw hats, beach bags and shell-layden clutches that capture the effortless elegance of French coastal style. These markets offer sensory feasts and delightful glimpses into the region's rich culture and lifestyle.
They usually open from around 8am-1pm...closing in time for lunch and a bottle of rosé.
My happy place indeed!
