St_Tropez

Many towns on the French Riviera are known for their glamorous lifestyle and fantastic beaches.

St Tropez has some beaches where clothing is optional, so if you’re easily offended by this kind of thing maybe this wouldn’t be a good place to visit!

If you don’t mind, or you want to join in with the topless brigade yourself, St Tropez has some excellent beaches, but there’s more to this town than just semi-nudity, so read on.

Attractions

The beaches of St Tropez are one of its top attractions.

If you don’t want to venture from the town centre, there are small and intimate beaches right here, but those a little farther out have more to offer.

Pampelonne Beach (pictured above) is the main one for the town; it’s about 5 kilometres (3 miles) out and has lots of facilities.

Away from the beaches, the old ‘village’ is very nice. It has narrow streets and numerous shops and galleries to peek inside.

On the waterfront, you’ll find luxury goods sold in these high-end stores, and the old port and the old Citadel are popular spots too.

Luxury and fabulous Hotels

More than ten hotels are at the top of the scale, offering 5-star service and facilities. Hotel de Paris Saint-Tropez is arguably one of the best.

It’s an exciting place with an old-world charm on the outside, combined with modern amenities and contemporary styling inspired by the 1960s and 70s. It’s a two-minute walk from the harbour.

You could also opt for a 19th-century restored chateau in the hills overlooking St Tropez and Pampelonne Bay. Chateau de la Messardiere is excellent if you want to be a little bit outside the hustle and bustle of the town centre.

Weather and climate

St Tropez is known for its beaches and, of course, for its excellent beach weather.

Like the rest of the French Riviera, this means plenty of sunshine and warm to hot weather during the summer, plus mild and rainy winters.

July and August peak with an average high of 27C, or for fewer people, and slightly cooler temperatures come in September when it reaches 24C. Saint-Tropez has 2748 hours of sunshine per year.
