A day in St Tropez

Take the short ferry from Sainte-Maxime to Saint-Tropez and arrive straight into the harbour, where superyachts bob alongside the old fishing boats. Pause for a cool drink at a waterside bar—part of the town’s enduring Brigitte Bardot-era allure—then wander the spectacular lanes at your own pace. Browse boutiques and galleries, linger over a little people-watching, or simply follow the sun through the old town before settling in for an exceptional dinner at one of Saint-Tropez’s many restaurants. There is a reason the world’s celebrities return here year after year: the glamour is real, but so is the pleasure of taking it slowly.
