Sainte-Maxime · LE GOLFE / DISCOVER
Sainte-Maxime’s covered market is a food-shopping meeting point in the old centre. Come to browse the stalls and put together a meal. Our idea: start the morning here with a shopping bag before continuing through the lanes to the harbour.

“A SHOPPING BAG. THE STALLS. A MORNING YOUR OWN.”
FIND YOUR RHYTHM
01
The tourist listing includes bakery, fruit and vegetables, fish, meat, cheese and fine groceries. Products depend on the stalls and deliveries. Our advice: browse once before putting together your shopping and take time to talk to the traders.
02
The town lists access from Rue Fernand-Bessy near Place du Marché and from Montée de l’Épagneul. Walk the final stretch from authorised central parking. The map marks the market, not a loading bay or parking space.
03
The town distinguishes low, mid and high seasons, with Monday closure in low season and extra evening openings in peak summer. Town and tourist-office pages differ on some winter closing hours: consult them and confirm your date rather than planning to arrive at the very end of trading.
BEYOND THE FIRST LOOK
The covered market is a permanent address in the old centre, distinct from Friday morning’s Mermoz market. Our suggestion: continue towards the Tour Carrée and harbour, then choose a break around your purchases and the weather. Allow time for parking on busy days.
