General presentation
Saint-Tropez and the Maures Massif
Famous Gulf, perched villages, beaches, vineyards, wooded massif and Var coast.
Saint-Tropez, Ramatuelle and Massif des Maures give the most telling landmarks of Saint-Tropez and massif des Maures. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, forests, heritage and countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than a single uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: very expensive in summer and difficult traffic. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
City
Saint-Tropez
Saint-Tropez remains contrasted between lively hearts, coastal trails and more peaceful areas on the edge of the massif. The place becomes alive when one observes these changes rather than staying at one corner of the city. A short journey, thought in alternation, restores his real identity.
Village
Ramatuelle
Ramatuelle spreads a very Mediterranean light on its clear facades, narrow alleys and its gaze on the relief of the Moors. Going up to the ancient centre, one can understand the contrast between the quietness of the village and the near seashore life. The best times are often those when the heat drops slightly and the circulation calms.
Monastery
Chartreuse de la Verne
The Chartreuse de la Verne surprises by the historical thickness which is read in its austere walls, its courtyards and its perspectives framed by the garrigue. It is a place to slow down the pace: to move inwards, to breathe the freshness of the covered spaces, then to observe the landscape that unfolds behind the lines of the old site. The clear mornings accentuate the strangeness of its volumes.
