  • Rummage through stalls selling everything from cut glass and statuary to antique porcelain, lace, embroidery and linen in search of something small enough to carry home. Thursday and Saturdays, from 8am to noon.

  • With plenty of cash floating around, Monaco is a magnet for designer shops and haute couture . Try these two streets for the latest look.

  • The chateau has lovely grounds and first-rate Mont Ventoux wines.

  • An unpromising looking warehouse, but the chocolate wizardry within is dazzling. Enter only if you have iron self-control.

  • Apt is the proud world capital of crystallized fruit, and Denis Ceccon is one of the few remaining artisans to work by traditional methods – try his apricots.

  • One of the last authentic covered markets on the Riviera bustles with life every morning until noon and is perfect for buying all sorts of local delicacies to take home.

  • Even older than the above, Dromel Ainé has been in the business of selling fantastic chocolates, sweets, and a range of unusual teas and coffees since 1760. An unmissable Marseille experience.

  • The little chateau near Goult provides a perfect setting for beautifully embroidered clothes and a great range of linen for the house.

  • Extraordinary enamelled terracotta figures of fruit, vegetables and meat. Artisan works which literally look good enough to eat.

  • Finest grocery-cum-delicatessen in Marseille, with irresistible selections of cheese, cold meats, spices, wines and much else besides.
