Home A sustainable destination Local economy and short supply chains in Saint-Tropez
The Gulf of Saint-Tropez is brimming with unique flavors. Here, local produce, traditions, and expertise come together with authenticity. Between sun-drenched land and bountiful sea, the region offers a range of typical Provençal local products. Fragrant olive oils, aromatic herbs, sun-kissed vegetables, and sustainably caught fish reflect the soul of the region.
In the heart of the village, the markets at Place des Lices and Place aux Herbes reveal the richness of the terroir every day. Fruit, cheese, flowers, spices, and artisanal creations rub shoulders with local producers. These iconic places fully embody the Tropezian art of living, in a friendly and generous atmosphere.
On the harbor, Sénéquier, an institution since 1887, charms visitors with its famous red terrace. It offers a unique panorama of the village. Here you can enjoy homemade tarte tropézienne, white nougat, and candied fruit. These specialties have become true symbols of Saint-Tropez pastry.
In addition, the company La Tarte Tropézienne, founded by Alexandre Micka and made famous by Brigitte Bardot, continues to use the original recipe. A soft brioche dough, filled with a light and delicately flavored cream, makes up this dessert, which is emblematic of the local culinary heritage.
In the narrow streets of the town center, the Aux Deux Frères bakery and pastry shop entices visitors with the quality of its breads, focaccias, fruit tarts, and artisanal Tropéziennes. Each creation is made with skill and passion.
For its part, the Cavazza bakery, founded in 1933, offers a Tropézienne renowned for its delicacy. It is also known for its pine nut croissants and chocolate crackers.
For a refreshing break, the Barbarac and J.O 1946 ice cream parlors delight young and old alike in the Old Port. Ice creams and sorbets are prepared on site and churned hourly, in keeping with authentic Italian tradition.
