  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Get the Monaco look at an affordable price at this shopping centre which houses a selection of designer shops selling prêt-à-porter clothes, shoes and accessories.

  • Cannes’ esplanade is a great place for shopping or window-shopping, with famous labels such as Chanel (appropriately, at No. 5) Christian Dior (No. 38), Celine (No. 24), Louis Vuitton (No. 44) and Cartier (No. 57).

  • This open-air market overflows with flowers, seasonal fruit and vegetables, fresh fish and local products. It’s a great place to buy Provençal delicacies to take home. Open daily except Sunday. On Mondays, it becomes a flea market.

  • You will find four levels of international designer and brand name clothes and accessories for men, women and children, all under one roof. Free parking, too.

  • For that absolutely fabulous Cannes look, head straight for the Rue d’Antibes and its string of designer boutiques, all breathtakingly expensive and dazzlingly ostentatious.

  • Vallauris’s moribund pottery industry was revived when Picasso took an interest in the craft and more than 100 local potters sell their work on its streets in summer.

  • Villeneuve Loubet supports a thriving arts scene and is full of artists’ and sculptors’ studios where you can invest in an original work of art by a living artist.
