The region
And, as though in a dream, here you are
in Provence quite close to
Saint Tropez. With its boundaries marked by the Mediterranean to the south and the first peaks of the Alps to the north, Provence offers a wide variety of remarkable landscapes with spellbinding colours.
The land in Provence is generous and craftspeople have learned to make the most of its riches. While you are here on holiday you can explore the pottery of
Salernes, the earthenware of Moustiers, olive oil, Côtes de Provence wines, lavender from the Haut Pays,
perfumes from Grasse, delicate
crystallised fruit from Apt, the subtle lavender honey, tapenade of green olives and black olives…
The Gulf of Saint Tropez lies at the heart of this magnificent sun-drenched region, with the
Maures chain as a backdrop. This is a splendid massif where the peace and quiet of nature means that you can still enjoy unforgettable walks amongst chestnut trees and cork oaks.
The Gulf of Saint Tropez and its villages
Sainte-Maxime A charming seaside resort, built facing south on the edge of the
Gulf of Saint Tropez and sheltered from the winds, offers a gentle pace of life acknowledged by everyone.
Saint-Tropez Owes its international reputation to painters.
Paul Signac was the first painter to roll up at this little port in 1892. At the time it was totally unknown and was immediately dazzled by the bright light.
Ramatuelle Tucked away in the
Saint Tropez countryside, right in the heart of the vines and sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the beaches, lies the
Provençal village.
Grimaud Built on the hillside, is a charming little village where everything is made of stone using medieval architecture.
"Les bateaux verts" excursions along the coast and a regular shuttle service.
