Don't go there for vegetable and fruits (go to "Laurent Primeurs") but for their HUGE cheese and Deli department (French and Italian). At the fish department ask for the "Daurades royales" (King Sea Bream) and the "Loups" (Sea Bass) from the fish farm "Tamaris" (near Toulon), the best value for money (cook them 15 min in the hoven) ! This is also the only place in Cavalaire to find ice blocks and big ice cubes bags if you need some to organize a party.
