St. Tropez Bay is one of the most picturesque sites along the French Riviera. Today, the old fishing village is a lively seaside resort, which has kept its Provençal culture and traditions. Visit a local winery or take a drive along the rugged coast and revel in the wonderful views of the landscape, the beaches, the islands and the magnificent Massif des Maures. While you’re in St. Tropez, try some delicious local lobster with chilled white wine or savor some refreshing lavender ice cream — it’s a must.
Perched high on a rock, just a few miles from the sea, sits the delightful village of Gassin. Here you can drink in the stunning panoramas as you stroll through a family-run winery where generations of vintners have passed on their expertise and passion for crafting fine wines. You will savor the unique vintages produced locally and sample other spectacular varieties from this premier wine region in southern France.
Port Grimaud was designed in the early 1960s by French architect Francois Spoerry, who created an elaborate system of canals and islands, much like Venice, but on a smaller scale. Known for its multi-hued houses covered with Roman tiles, contemporary Port Grimaud is easy to walk, especially since cars are restricted.
