An Undiscovered Fishing Village -- More and more frugal visitors are fleeing the high prices of St-Tropez and heading for Sanary-sur-Mer, a tiny fishing village 80km (50 miles) southwest of St-Tropez. The French themselves come here for their vacations, leaving the more famous mecca for the tourists. Wednesday is grand market day at Sanary, as 300 vendors hawk their wares, selling everything from strawberries to foie gras. Drop in at the portside cafe, Coquillages Philippe, 8 place de la Tour (tel. 06-23-95-77-56), a shellfish bar with ultra-fresh oysters. Here is your chance to try the famous sea urchin. On another front, L'En K Fé, 13 rue Louis Blanc (tel. 04-94-74-66-57), is known for its Moroccan tagine of chicken with dates. For a hotel, check out Hotel de la Tour, 24 quai Général de Gaulle (tel. 04-94-74-10-10), run by the Mercier family. Rooms are simple but have a view of the harbor, costing 85€ ($111) for a double.
