There are two Saint-Tropez. The summer one, which the whole world knows: the yachts, the crowded terraces, the line for the tarte tropĂ©zienne. And then thereâs the other one. The one in October and November, with mornings of light mist over the harbor and quieter streets. The one the locals cherish. Itâs this Saint-Tropez that we want to help you discover.
When the season ends, Saint-Tropez returns to what it truly is: a Provençal village. The Place des Lices, so popular in July, is once again filled with pĂ©tanque players, century-old plane trees, and the low, late-afternoon light. Shopkeepers take the time to chat with you. Itâs a different pace, a different rhythm.
And then thereâs that golden autumn light, unique to the French Riviera, which makes every stroll along the harbor feel a little surreal.
Stroll through the old town at your leisure, make your way up to the Citadel for a breathtaking view of the bay, or linger at a cafĂ© by the harbor with a local newspaper. This is the Saint-Tropez of before it became famous, and itâs still here.
This is undoubtedly the Gulfâs best-kept secret: in the fall, the vineyards are spectacular. The leaves turn shades of copper, ochre, and deep red. The harvest has just ended, and the wineries are bustling with activity: winemaking, blending⊠itâs a time when thereâs never a dull moment and plenty to see.
This is the perfect time of year to truly appreciate this exceptional terroir, which produces some of the worldâs most renowned rosĂ©s.
On our half-day private tour by minivan, weâll take you to two carefully selected wineries in the heart of the CĂŽtes de Provence AOP. This experience is designed to let you explore the region as a guest and leave with memories that will last a lifetime.
Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France. In October, you can stroll around at your leisure and enjoy the 360-degree view of the Gulf without anyone crowding you. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Corsica.
The village has regained its character as a hilltop medieval village, far from the hustle and bustle of Pampelonne. Its cobblestone streets, stone arches, and shaded squares are just waiting for you. With his markets on thursdays and saturdays you will see the best of it.
The âLittle Venice of the Southâ is a peaceful place to explore along its canals. During the off-season, you can rent a small electric boat and explore the waterways almost entirely on your own.
And its medieval castle ruins offer panoramic views of the surrounding plains and vineyards. From there, you can see all the way to the sea and the villages that line its shores. In the fall, the low light accentuates every contour and every color.
Many people believe that the Gulf slows down after September. Quite the opposite is true.
Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, held in early October, brings together hundreds of legendary sailboats in the bay for one of the worldâs most beautiful classic regattas. Itâs a spectacle that lovers of the sea and nautical heritage wouldnât miss for anything in the world.
Porsche Paradise brings together more than 500 exceptional vehicles at the harbor, in an atmosphere that is as passionate as it is friendly. A one-of-a-kind event in Europe for car enthusiasts.
The Grande Braderie attracts tens of thousands of visitors who come to browse the villageâs narrow streets. Shops run by local designers and great bargains come together in a festive and relaxed atmosphere.
We design custom private tours throughout the Gulf region, all year round. Whether youâre looking for a half-day tour of the vineyards, a full day exploring villages and the coastline, or a completely personalized experience.
