Saint-Tropez

The gulf, the village quay and the legendary beaches of Pampelonne.

Saint-Tropez needs little introduction: the old port where yachts moor stern-to against the cafés, the village beyond, and the long sweep of Pampelonne with its beach clubs a tender-ride away.

At 32 miles it is the furthest of the classic day-runs from Monaco and the western anchor of most Riviera itineraries — best reached with an early start.
