Nature in all its splendour
The Gulf of Saint-Tropez, renowned for its sparkling beaches and picturesque villages, offers much more than meets the eye. Behind the bustling ports unfolds a lush and untouched nature, a true call to escape and serenity.
Whether you are fond of vast landscapes, passionate about flora, or simply captivated by the beauty of nature, the Gulf of Saint-Tropez will awaken your senses and soothe your spirit.
An enchanting combination of nature and picture-postcard villages
The many nature reserves in the region, including the Massif des Maures Regional Natural Park and La Pointe des Sardinaux Peninsula, offer a variety of landscapes from wooded hills to secret beachside coves. These protected areas are perfect for hiking, picnicking and observing the local flora and fauna.
- The Massif des Maures is a treasure trove of greenery stretching as far as the eye can see, where cork oaks, maritime pines and chestnut trees combine to form a truly unique landscape. Here, nature expresses itself with a rare intensity, and it is not uncommon to spot wild boar, roe deer or even Hermann tortoises – a protected species – at a bend in the path.
- Along the coast, the Pointe des Sardinaux reveals a completely different side of the gulf. This natural setting offers exceptional panoramic views over the Mediterranean, with its crystal-clear waters and umbrella pine-lined beaches. It is a wonderful place to watch sea birds, admire the coastal flora or simply soak up the calm and tranquillity of the surroundings, far from the hustle and bustle of the busier beaches.
