Historical Memorabilia and Antique Weapons Fair of Saint-Tropez

A specialist meeting for discerning collectors

The Historical Memorabilia and Antique Weapons Fair of Saint-Tropez returns for its fourth edition in a prestigious setting: Salle Jean Despas, in the heart of the legendary fishing village. The event gathers specialist exhibitors from across Provence and beyond, in an atmosphere both friendly and scholarly, characteristic of militaria and memorabilia enthusiasts.

What you will find

Antique edged weapons and firearms (legally transferable), bayonets, officer sabres, period pistols and collectible rifles fill most tables. Alongside them, restored uniforms, helmets, ceremonial headdresses, belts and military decorations - Legion of Honour, Croix de guerre, commemorative medals - catch the eye of knowledgeable visitors.

Historical memorabilia extends beyond the strictly military: period documents, letters, Great War postcards, propaganda posters, original photographs, military paybooks, mess tins, regimental badges and trench art compose a moving panorama of the 20th century.

An expert atmosphere

Unlike general flea markets, this fair values expertise. Exhibitors are themselves long-standing collectors, able to recount the story of each piece.

Tips for visitors

Arrive early - from the 8:30am opening - to secure the best pieces. Bring cash (many exhibitors accept cash only) and don't hesitate to negotiate politely.
