Market early
The market runs Tuesday and Saturday from 8 am to 1 pm. An early arrival makes the experience much easier.
LOCAL LIFE · SAINT-TROPEZ
LES LICES
THE MARKET IS ONLY HALF THE STORY.
On Tuesdays and Saturdays, the square becomes Saint-Tropez's main market. The rest of the time it returns to village life: plane trees, cafés, pétanque and local rhythm.
LE GOLFE VIEW
“Les Lices become more interesting when you come back after the market.”
The market is the spectacle. Understanding the square also means seeing it return to everyday use: boules players, terraces and the flow between the harbour and the old town.
A MORNING AT LES LICES
Arrive before Saint-Tropez speeds up.
02 · 10:00
Look more, buy less
Fresh produce, flowers, crafts, clothes and objects mix together. The scene is as much the point as the stalls.
03 · AFTER
Come back for the square
Outside market hours, Les Lices returns to being a meeting place. That is when Saint-Tropez feels more like a village again.
PÉTANQUE
The square still works when “nothing” is happening.
That is exactly why it matters: it is not only a tourist backdrop or a market. It is a square used, crossed and lived in year-round.
TIMING
Market day means market traffic.
Saint-Tropez Tourism recommends arriving before 8:30 am for a more comfortable visit in high season. Tuesdays and Saturdays place extra pressure on roads and parking.
HOW TO USE IT
Start here. Then leave the square.
Les Lices is an excellent starting point for the old town, La Ponche and the Citadel. We would not give it half a day alone; we would make it the first chapter of a Saint-Tropez morning.
