Tucked just off Place aux Herbes, Chez Madeleine is a petite seafood sanctuary beloved by locals and insiders. Oysters are the star—shucked tableside—while shrimp, king crab, caviar, and optional takeaway baskets complete the salty-perfect scene.
Chez Madeleine is Saint‑Tropez at its purest: effortless, sun-kissed, and centered on seafood perfection. Nestled behind the fish market, this family-run oyster bar has just a handful of bar stools and outdoor tables, making each visit feel intimate and unhurried . The menu is straightforward—oysters (typically Gillardeau and Joséphine varieties farmed since the 19th century), shrimp, king crab, mussels, and even caviar.
Expect oysters shucked just as you order them, washed down with crisp rosé or an informal glass of white. The vibe is unpretentious but bustling—with friendly staff, occasional maritime chatter, and a pleasant backdrop of market-day energy .
