For a street license, you'll need to talk to the mairie (town hall) in whatever towns or villages you're planning on working.

Normally, these kinds of businesses set up as part of the local market and (at least in our local market) there are guys from the town who go around and assess the fee on the market days. I think Nice has a market every day. St. Tropez may be the same.
Cheers,
Bev
