Saint-Tropez, a sea-faring town

Once a fishing village, Saint-Tropez has preserved its maritime identity. For those who enjoy the pleasures the sea has to offer – swimming, sailing, diving, boat trips to discover the wonderful coastal scenery – the town and its surroundings are a veritable paradise.

And beach lovers will be in heaven with Saint-Tropez and the surrounding area boasting a dozen or so beaches, each with its own unique identity.
