St. Tropez markets

A visit to St.Tropez Market April 2023

A visit to St.Tropez Market April 2023. I am again back in the market with all the familiar sights and smells. I am glad that we took the early bus from Grimaud as the market began to get very busy towards the middle of the morning. The lanes between the stalls are very narrow so it can get crowded.

We saw lots of lovely dresses and kaftans during this visit. The fabrics seem to be of better quality on many of the stalls. There were some gorgeous pure cotton maxi dresses and tunics.

There was a really nice pottery stall. All are handcrafted and hand-painted.

I took the opportunity to replace my worn-out cross-body bag. I always travel with one. They are ideal for keeping all your valuable documents safe and in one place. It makes the airport experience so much easier as you can keep the different items such as passport, money and boarding pass in separate compartments. You can adjust the straps and I often wear mine around my waist. Amazon has a good selection.

My friend Dee trying on a gorgeous blue print maxi dress. It is pure cotton with a cotton lining. So will be nice and cool when the temperatures rise.

Maxi dresses remain popular and I find them so useful in the hot summer months. Just pop on and add a few accessories and you are done. Here is a selection below.


A multitude of scarves in different lengths, patterns and colours.

I always like to take a photograph of my favourite chic boutique situated in one of the side streets leading to the main square in St.Tropez. This season they were displaying some lovely bright colours alongside their usual chic neutrals.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  • I like a collar on my shirts and dresses but they seem to have all but disappeared, cheaper to make I suppose. It was good to see a collar on the both models in the boutique window.

  • The pink dress in the first photo would look great on you, the color is perfect. Love going traveling with you.

  • Hi Josephine which is the shop you refer to in St Tropez? I also have a house in Grimaud but on the Beauvallon golf course and would like to take a look when I am there next.

    • Hello Jillian
      The Shop is Civette St.Tropez. It stocks high-end items and quite a few Italian brands. I have bought from there but tend to wait for the sales.

  • So many pretty things to look at! I love the rose blouse your are holding and the blue dress on Dee. I hope some purchases were made! Nice to see pearls - lovely year-round, but so very nice in the warm months. Thanks for sharing. I always love your market posts.

    • Yes Dee did buy the dress. I tended to buy tee shirts and presents for my grandchildren.

  • I also like shirts/dresses with collars, the blue one on Dee is delicious! I never wear prints; I'm typically a solid color person; hmmmm wonder how a print would look because these are gorgeous!

  • What a lovely Blog Josephine, wish I was there ! Love your hat. The dresses were beautiful
    and the choice of scarves wonderful. Enjoy your trip.
