France in general is a shopper's paradise. The French have a true love for style and fashion in clothing, home decor, art, and even gastronomy. St. Paul de Vence is a real artist's town and shopping for gifts with this theme or art itself is easily done. There are art galleries all over the town with original pieces that can really break one's checkbook. Whether or not you are a serious buyer, looking is half the fun anyway!

Aside from just paintings you will also find other artwork in the form of crafts and jewelry; these options are a little easier on the wallet as well. There are plenty of home goods in addition. 

Don't forget that your are in a gastronomic heaven. Stocking up on treasures like olive oil and wine is just as important as jewelry and more important for many! There are great little food shops to buy these delicious treasures.

Another popular item is fabric, the typical patterns associated with Southern France and Provence are everywhere to be found and offer an affordable way to bring home the essence of the region's style with you.
