Saint-Tropez
Before the beach clubs and moored yachts, Saint-Tropez was a fishing port. Its quieter lanes, market mornings and coastal light remain the best clues to its character.

Why go

The long way around
Browse the old port early, continue through La Ponche and make time for the citadel views.
Where to base yourself
Choose your base according to beach access versus walkable town life: summer road traffic is substantial.
When to go
May, June and September are especially rewarding for a relaxed visit.
Boat shuttles can be useful during the busiest summer days.
Dates and access rules can change. Check the organiser before making non-refundable plans.
