For reaching from Nice Airport to Saint Tropez, you need to cover 106 km. The largest part of the route goes along the toll autobahn A8, past the towns Antibes, Cannes, and Fréjus. After 70 km near Le Muy, you need to exit the freeway and turn towards the sea onto the D25 road (this is a standard road, but mainly one lane in each direction, only occasionally two lanes for passing). Then after 46 km you will arrive at Saint Maxime, and from there another 15 km to Saint Tropez along the road beside the coast.
The journey from Nice to Saint-Tropez takes approximately 1.5 hours. However, if you are traveling in the summer, on weekends or in August, then you might spend about 2.5 - 3 hours on the road. In the summer, there are very significant traffic jams from Saint-Maxime to Saint-Tropez, due to the fact that the road is narrow and there are numerous vehicles.
Detour:
There is a detour, if you are late, you need to get to the airport as soon as possible. You can go through Grimaud and then turn left onto the D244 and then D44. Drive through the village of Le-Plan-de-la-Tour. The detour takes about 30 minutes along a winding road and is about 20 km long. You can save 1 - 1.5 hours this way. However, remember, if you are very sick in the car, this part of the journey may be difficult for you.
Cost of toll roads and fuel:
If you want to get to Saint-Tropez faster, you will of course need to take the autobahn rather than along the coast through the cities. This autobahn is toll. You will need to pay the fare twice.
1-st payment point is located near Antibes (Péage d'Antibes), 15 km from Nice airport. For a passenger car you need to pay 3 euros 40 cents.
2-nd payment point is located at the exit from the autobahn, near the town of Le Muy (71 km from Nice). Here you will pay 5 euros 70 cents (for a passenger car).
Total for toll roads, one way from Nice to Saint-Tropez you will pay 3.40 + 5.70 = 9.10 euros.
The second item of travel expenses is the cost of fuel (gasoline or diesel). The distance from Nice to Saint-Pope is about 105 km. Fuel consumption will be approximately 10-12 liters, taking into account driving in traffic jams (also depends on driving style and engine size). You will spend approximately 12 * 2 = 24 euros on fuel.
Thus, the total cost of travel from Nice to Saint-Tropez (one way) is about 35 euros for a passenger car. By minibus it will cost more than 50-60 euros.

Saint Tropez is one of the most popular summer resorts in the world. It is known for its stunning parties in clubs, beaches and villas. The most glamorous parties 24 hours a day.
Saint Tropez is located approximately halfway between the airports of Nice and Marseille. You can get there in different ways, but the most convenient and practical way is by car: take a taxi at the airport or book a private transfer in advance.
Our company has been transporting tourists to Saint-Tropez from Nice airport for more than 12 years. You can order a car of any class from us, both for a large group of passengers and for 1-2 people.
The cost of our services is often lower than that of competitors, and transfers are performed exclusively by experienced drivers using cars in excellent condition.
If you have planned your holiday in Saint-Tropez, the easiest, most convenient and fastest way to get there is from Nice airport. How to do it? There are quite a few options: taxi, rented car, bus, train, ferry and even helicopter, as well as their combinations. And, of course, an individual transfer, the benefits of which we will tell you further.
Transfer or taxi:
When choosing between ordering a taxi and a transfer, it is important to keep in mind that a taxi is not suitable for all travelers. And that's why. First of all, the price you'll pay at the end of your trip isn't always transparent. It may include additional payments that you may not find out about right away. For example, for the number of passengers, large luggage, provision of a child seat or booster seat, time of day (a night or evening trip will be more expensive), and so on. The price of the transfer is known at the time of booking and remains unchanged subsequently. Thus, the approximate cost of a taxi from Nice airport to Saint-Tropez starts from 250 €, while the cost of a transfer starts from 165 €. Most taxi cars are passenger cars, which means they can accommodate a limited number of passengers and luggage. Also, taxi drivers mainly use Economy and Comfort class cars, so if you want to go Business or Premium class, it’s better not to count on a taxi. When ordering a transfer, the car is selected according to your parameters, and you can be sure of comfortable accommodation.
Bus or transfer:
There is no direct bus service between Nice and Saint-Tropez. If you choose this type of transport, you will have to change trains in Saint-Raphael. You can get to this city on route No. 90, which runs every 2-2.5 hours, and from there to Saint-Tropez - on route No. 876, which departs every hour. The cost of the trip will be about 20 €, and the duration without waiting periods for transfers will be almost 3 hours.
Train or transfer:
There is no railway to Saint-Tropez. Trains can only travel from Nice to Saint-Raphael, and then you will have to change the mode of transport. So, regional trains with 1st and 2nd class carriages depart from Saint-Augustine station approximately once an hour. The cost of a 1st class ticket is 20.3€, 2nd class is 13.5€. Travel time is just under 3 hours. The station can be reached on foot from the airport building. From Saint-Raphael you can change buses, ferry or take a taxi.
Ferry or transfer:
There are no direct ferry lines from Nice, but if you want to travel by this type of transport, the nearest departure point is Golfe Juan, which can be reached by regional train from Saint-Augustine station. The ferry travels to Saint-Tropez only once a day and departs at 09:20. From May 16 to June 30 and from September 1 to September 30, 2024, ferry service operates on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. The rest of the time - from July 1 to August 31 - daily. The cost of the trip for an adult is 69 €, for a child under 10 years old - 54 €, children under 4 years old - free. Travel time is 2.5 hours. There is also a ferry service from Saint-Raphael, which can be reached by both train and bus. The ferry operates every day from June 1 to November 3. In the high season, flights depart 6 times a day from 08:00 to 18:00, and in the low season - twice: at 09:00 and at 14:30. A ticket for an adult costs 20 €, for a child under 9 years old - 12 €, for children under 1 year of age the trip is free. Travel duration is 2-3 hours.
Helicopter or transfer:
A helicopter is a fast and very expensive form of transport. There is no flight schedule as such; they must be agreed upon in advance. Renting a helicopter, according to the website (blade.com), depends on its model and starts from 2100 €. Price is only one of the features of this type of transport. Helicopters are dependent on weather conditions and the flight is canceled as soon as they are unfavorable. In addition, the helicopter's capacity is low and there are strict restrictions on the amount of luggage. And a helicopter, like other types of public transport, will not be able to take you directly to your hotel (except in rare cases when your vacation spot has its own helipad).
Our driver will meet you in the arrivals area with a name sign, so you can easily find him. In any case, we inform you of the driver’s WhatsApp contact in advance so that you can be in touch with him in any situation. Our advice is to immediately connect to the free wi-fi network upon arrival, which is available at Nice airport, and inform the driver that everything is on schedule and whether you have received your luggage.
If something doesn’t go according to plan and the flight, for example, is delayed, the driver will track this delay and adjust the arrival time. It is for this reason that when booking a transfer, you must provide us with complete flight details.
If the flight delay is prolonged and the driver cannot pick you up due to other transfers, you may be provided with another free car. In this case, the class of the car may change.
The transfer price includes an hour wait after landing flight. Longer waits, as well as waits when stopping at shops and restaurants on the way to Saint-Tropez, are paid separately and range from 50 € to 90 € per hour, depending on the class of car. If you know that you will be delayed at the airport, please notify us and the driver about this in advance (preferably at least 24 hours in advance) so that the driver can come pick you up at another specified time and you can avoid additional costs.
Under favorable road conditions, driving from Nice Airport to Saint-Tropez takes approximately 1.5 hours. Of course, the traffic situation changes and depends on many factors that should be taken into account when calculating travel time.
Thus, on weekdays in the mornings and evenings there is an increase in the flow of cars due to the fact that local residents go to work and return from work. Usually this is 08:00-09:30 and 17:00-18:30. Transfer time can be about 2 hours.
The highest season for holidays and the influx of tourists occurs in August, so traffic jams almost never disappear during this month. Travel time is 2.5-4 hours.
In addition, Saint-Tropez hosts international events that attract guests from all over the world, which naturally affects the traffic situation. From May 30 to June 2, 2024, the annual yacht race Les Voiles du Froid 2024 will take place in Saint-Tropez. The transfer lasts 2-3 hours. From September 24 to October 5, 2024 The traditional regatta Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez will take place.
When deciding on the period of your stay in Saint-Tropez, please take these features into account and remember the dates and time periods indicated above.
It is important to us that the trip for passengers is comfortable, and that luggage is fully accommodated and does not create any disturbances. That is why, when ordering a transfer, we specify the list of luggage, its type and size. This directly determines the type of car that is ideal for you.
Suitcases are the luggage that is almost always taken on a trip. We will definitely ask you to indicate the dimensions of each of them, according to the following parameters:
Size S: height 48-53 cm; width 32-36 cm; thickness 20-24 cm Size M: height 58-63 cm; width 37-41 cm; thickness 23-27 cm Size L: height 65-70 cm; width 42-47 cm; thickness 26-30 cm Size XL: height 72-80 cm; width 48-54 cm; thickness 29-33 cm
In addition to suitcases, you may have other luggage: bags, packages, backpacks, strollers, sports equipment, and so on. We urge you to indicate everything you are taking with you to avoid not only discomfort during the trip, but also the risk of ordering a separate taxi for your luggage. This will cost you significantly more than ordering a transfer of the appropriate size. When transporting pets, remember that they must be in special carriers, the size of which must also be communicated to us when booking the car.
When deciding on the period of your stay in Saint-Tropez, please take these features into account and remember the dates and time periods indicated above.
The price and quality of the trip depends entirely on the chosen car. And this, in turn, depends on your personal parameters: the number of passengers, the number and size of suitcases, the presence of other luggage, as well as your preferences for comfort and class of car.
Car. A much more spacious type of car. They are represented by such models as Renault Trafic, Ford Tourneo, Hyundai H1, Mercedes V class. They have 7 or 8 seats and fairly large luggage compartments that can accommodate up to 10 suitcases of various sizes, as well as hand luggage and, in some cases, sports equipment.
Minibus. Based on body type, passenger cars are divided into two types: sedan and SUV. Examples of such cars: Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Jetta, Kia SanraFe, Renault Megan, Mercedes E and S-class. This is the smallest class of cars in terms of capacity, designed to transport up to three, maximum four passengers with minimal luggage - 3 M or L size suitcases and a small amount of hand luggage.
Bus. The largest type of car in terms of capacity. Designed to transport large groups of passengers (up to 20 people). A typical representative is the Mercedes Sprinter, the luggage compartment of which can accommodate up to 18 suitcases of various sizes, hand luggage and sports equipment. There are also buses with 40-50 passenger seats, but using them is not always convenient due to their low maneuverability. These are best used for long trips, and for short transfers and driving along the narrow streets of small towns it is better to book several minibuses.
We would like to once again draw your attention to the fact that the car is selected based on the parameters of each individual transfer.
Its comfort and cost directly depend on the class of the car. The class itself is determined by the wishes of the passengers.
Economy class. The name speaks for itself. This is the class of cars with the lowest price and minimum level of comfort. The interior materials are very basic, and the cabin itself is not very roomy. Examples of cars of this class: cars - Volkswagen Golf or Kia Rio, minibuses - Fiat Scudо or Hyundai H1.
Comfort class. This class is slightly more expensive than economy class due to a more comfortable and spacious interior. The decoration is made of more pleasant materials. Comfort class passenger cars are, for example, Volkswagen Passat or Toyota Camry. Minibuses - Renault Trafic or Volkswagen Multivan.
Business Class. An even higher-priced and comfortable class of cars with a large interior and expensive finishes. An example of a passenger car is a Mercedes E-class, a minibus is a Mercedes Vito.
Premium class. For the most demanding clients who love maximum comfort and convenience even in the smallest details. The interiors of cars of this class are made of the most modern and expensive materials and are equipped with functionality that makes the trip even more enjoyable. An example of a passenger car is a Mercedes S-class, a minibus is a Mercedes V-class.
In winter our clients prefer to go to ski resorts in the French Alps. Transfer from Geneva airport to Courchevel costs 300 - 450 euro, depending on the chosen car.

Saint-Tropez is a small picturesque town in the south-east of France in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region. This is one of the most magnificent resorts on the French Riviera, which has become widely known thanks to numerous films (for example, the action of the adventures of the gendarme with Louis de Funes and "The Prick of the Umbrella" with Pierre Richard, as well as the film "And God Created Woman" with Brigitte Bardot takes place here) . Saint-Tropez is one of the most glamorous places on the Cote d'Azur.
This fashionable resort is known for its excellent beaches and clear sea, picturesque houses and narrow cobbled streets of the old town, as well as charming green courtyards and cozy squares. It's hard to believe that until the 19th century, Saint-Tropez was just a modest fishing village. But thanks to artists and cinema, the city has become a legendary holiday destination.
The largest ski area in the world is also located in the French Alps, in the Savoie department, not far from the Moutiers railway station, partly in the Vanoise National Park. Three Valleys is 600 kilometers of interconnected ski slopes, about 200 ski lifts and 120 kilometers of cross-country skiing trails. The Les Trois-Vallee ski area connects the valleys of Les Alues (the resorts of Meribel, Brides-les-Bains), Saint-Bon (the towns of Courchevel, La Tania) and Belleville (the ski resorts of Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Saint-Martin-de -Belleville).
The ski area is extended into the "fourth" Maurienne valley, adjacent to Val Thorens and connected by a lift to Aurel. The geographical position of the Three Valleys more than 60 years ago was not chosen by chance. The location was ideal for the creation of an interconnected ski area and the development of winter sports: several glaciers (Péclet, Du Borgne, Boucher), three parallel valleys, mountain passes connecting them, 85% of the area is at an altitude of more than 1800 meters, providing guaranteed snow from the start December until the end of April.
The settlement of Saint-Tropez appeared on the map in ancient times - back in the 2nd century BC. It was named in honor of the Great Martyr Torpis, that is, Trofim, who was beheaded by the bloodthirsty Nero during Christian persecution in the 60s of the 1st century. The life says that the headless body of a man was placed in a boat and launched into the open sea, as was often done before. The future saint was accompanied by a dog and a rooster.
The dilapidated ship washed up on the shore - where today the lights of Saint-Tropez shine. In the 10th century, Saint-Tropez became pirated - it became part of the Muslim emirate of Fraxinet, which controlled medieval Provence. Since 980, the city has joined the county of Provence. To protect themselves from enemies, the counts built a small fortress on the shore, which has survived to this day, though slightly modified. At the end of the 15th century, Saint-Tropez was taken over by the family of barons Grimaud, that is, Grimaldi, who owned many settlements in Provence and built very beautiful castles here. A curious fact from the history of France and Saint-Tropez in particular is the visit to the city in 1615 by a Japanese expedition led by Hasekura Tsunenaga, a samurai, the first Japanese who visited Europe on a diplomatic mission. It is believed that this was the first meeting in world history between the French and a native of the Land of the Rising Sun. In total, the journey of Tsunenaga, who was called Don Felippe in the West, lasted for seven whole years.
The most important historical moment for Saint-Tropez is the reflection of the attack of 22 Spanish galleons in 1637. In honor of this memorable event, a colorful procession is held in the city every year, in which all local residents take part. Finally, an important role in the history of Saint-Tropez was played by artists who in the 20-30s of the twentieth century began to move from the noisy, restless Paris to this blissful place. The first was the neo-impressionist Paul Signac, who settled here in a villa and invented here a special style of writing - pointillism. Other painters followed him - Pierre Bonnard, Henri Matisse, Chris Van Dongen, Marc Chagall. Representatives of the fashion world did not bypass Saint-Tropez either: Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli have been here. In 1956, Saint-Tropez's finest hour came: Roger Vadim chose this town as the location for filming the wonderful film "And God Created Woman" with the brilliant Brigitte Bardot in the title role. A start was made: many went to this quiet town on the Cote d'Azur in search of a beautiful life, entertainment and love. Also, the city was glorified by a series of films about an eccentric gendarme with Louis de Funes in the title role. Since then, tourism has become the backbone of the economy of Saint-Tropez: the city has many restaurants, luxurious villas are rented out and are never empty.
Saint Tropez has many wonderful hotels for every taste. Of course, their cost is high, but mainly tourists who are going to St Tropez are ready to spend a lot of money for their vacation.

An obligatory component of a luxurious holiday in the fashionable French resort of Saint-Tropez is visiting first-class restaurants and tasting delicious dishes. Saint-Tropez restaurants are great establishments, many of which are Michelin-starred, famous not only for their excellent cuisine, but also for their stylish interiors. This article is devoted to the brightest of them.
The great restaurant in France is Spoon at Byblos, located on the same street. It was opened by the famous chef Alain Ducasse. First of all, the interior of the institution attracts attention: the red salon is made in a classic style and furnished with wooden furniture, the open terrace is decorated with lanterns - in the evenings it is very beautiful here! The restaurant's menu consists mainly of traditional Provence dishes and culinary novelties. The local cuisine can be described as fusion cuisine. The most memorable dishes of the restaurant are ravioli with seafood, game in a pot with olives, catfish fillet with artichokes. The average check of the establishment is 100 euro.
Among the restaurants in France and Saint-Tropez, it is necessary to highlight Club 55 - a beach club where you can often meet stars and millionaires. This restaurant has a rich history: it remembers Brigitte Bardot, Françoise Sagan and many other representatives of Bohemia and the creative intelligentsia. The cuisine of Club 55 is international, because it welcomes guests from different countries. The most popular treats here are tuna carpaccio, Italian pasta, beef fillet and delicious grilled chicken. It is noteworthy that on the territory of the restaurant there are several beach houses that are rented for 1-2 thousand euros per day. If you wish, you can stay here for a couple of days and arrange a real belly feast. The Restaurant Club is located on Patch Boulevard. The average check here is 80 euro.
One of the best restaurants in France, located at the Benkirai hotel, fabulously decorated with teak wood. Previously, the institution specialized exclusively in Thai cuisine, but later the so-called “bistronomy”, which was invented by Bruno Doucet, a chef from Paris, became its highlight. What is the point? A combination of chic bistro and low prices. From reading the menu of the restaurant, eyes widen. There is tuna with black olives, and tomato soup with goat cheese, and marinated vegetables with thyme, and entrecote with blood. The restaurant's desserts also stagger the imagination: minestrone with basil, homemade ice cream, biscuits, rice balls with vanilla fried in milk. Restaurant address: chemin du Pinet. The average check is 70 euro.
An expensive restaurant with three Michelin stars is located in the La Pinede hotel on the plage de la Bouillabaisse. Its name can be translated as "golden wave" - that is why the interior of the restaurant is designed in sunny yellow. The restaurant is run by a gifted young chef, Arno Donkel, who is famous for his exquisite, unique dishes. The way of serving his treats is interesting: at first glance, it can be difficult for a guest to recognize what is on his plate, and it is not always possible to taste all the ingredients of the dish. In case you decide to get to the bottom of the truth, it makes sense to contact the director of the institution, Thierry di Tullio, who happily reveals the secrets of mysterious treats to visitors. What dishes adorn this one of the best restaurants in France and Saint-Tropez? Horse mackerel and crab meat in a tangerine marinade, lobster pieces, st. pierre fish, a unique treat - a portion of frozen sea water, foie gras and celery, sea reptiles with glaze, pot-au-feu with mushrooms and pink ginger. For dessert, if you have enough energy, feel free to order sorbet with yogurt, kaffir lime, as well as wine - Miraval, Hermitage, Cote Rotie. Of course, you will have to pay for all this pleasure: the average check of a restaurant is about 400 euro.
Perfect fish restaurant in Saint-Tropez with a wonderful view of the sea and the port. Here you can order an appetizing seafood dish and, while stretching the pleasure, admire the moored yachts. The restaurant prepares an excellent bouillabaisse, a traditional Provencal fish soup. The average bill of a restaurant is 60 - 70 euro. Address: Quai Jean Jaures.

It's hard to believe that until the 19th century, Saint-Tropez was just a humble fishing village. But thanks to artists and cinema, the city has become a legendary holiday destination.
Citadelle de Saint Tropez - The fortress, which is called the citadel here, is located on a hill in the eastern part of the town. This citadel is based on a hexagonal keep and three round towers built in the 16th century. Later, a wall with bastions was added. The Museum of the Navy is open in the donjon. In the courtyard we see Spanish cannons of the 16th century, and inside the building there are models of ancient and modern ships.
Musee de l’Annonciade - The Annunciation Museum occupies the building of the former chapel of the Annunciation, built in the 16th century. The collection of the museum is small - about fifty paintings and several sculptures that were created in the period from 1890 to the middle of the 20th century. Presented are the works of Paul Signac, Henri Matisse, Georges Seurat, Georges Rouault, André Derain, Pierre Bonnard and other French artists
Eglise Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption de Saint-Tropez - The Saint-Tropez church was built in the early 19th century in the Italian Baroque style. Here we see a gilded bust of the patron saint of the city, Tropes, whose body was found in a boat washed ashore in the place where the city is located.
The old port (Vieux Port), where you can admire fishing boats and luxury yachts. Nearby is the old market square, whose name can be translated as "Grassy" (Place aux Herbes), which turns into a farmers' market in the morning
The Old Town (La Ponche) is located between the citadel and the Old Port. Ancient streets covered with cobblestones, houses of yellow and pink color - all this creates an amazing atmosphere.
The small village of Saint-Tropez has become popular among tourists for some time now. It's all about clear water, comfortable beaches with clean sand, as well as luxury yachts that every traveler can admire. Those who come to this heavenly place are satisfied with their vacation.
Pampelonne beach - tourists recognize that this is the best beach in Saint Tropez. Vacationers are pleased to enter the clear water. The white sandy beach is very comfortable for them. There is a lot of infrastructure nearby: shops where you can buy drinks, food and ice cream, and establishments where tourists rent water equipment. The total coastal zone is 6 kilometers and is divided into many zones (both paid and free). Nearby there are many hotels where you can spend the night. Suitable for both lovers of active sea recreation, and those who like to be alone. The beach is cleaned daily, the use of toilets and changing rooms is free. Rescuers are closely watching the vacationers (only in the summer season). The entrance to the water is also convenient for children.
'Plage de Tahiti' оne of the beaches that is considered the least glamorous of all existing in Saint-Tropez. Entrance is free, but you still have to rent sun loungers and umbrellas. There is a public area where you can lie on your towel. The beach is sandy and white. The water is clean and transparent, the entrance to it is gentle, so parents should not be afraid for their children. But there are few places for swimming, because the main part is reserved for yachts. If you wish, you can rent not only sunbeds, but also tents with trestle beds and tables. Waiters bring drinks directly to the water. There are also many restaurants, cafes, nightclubs, and hotels to choose from. The place is considered a continuation of the Pampelonne beach, but these two coastal areas are separated by a nudist beach. Travelers get there mainly by taxi.
Less popular, but equally favorite vacation spot is La Ponche beach. Its coastline is small, sand and pebbles are mixed with each other, so you should take light slippers. The water is clear and clean. The place is suitable for tourists who do not like large crowds. From the infrastructure, one can note cafes that sell food, drinks and ice cream, as well as the availability of cabanas for undressing. The entrance is free. The beach is located behind the Genoese tower, which was built almost in the center of the city. Getting there is not long: by public transport, private car or taxi.
'Graniers beach' - light sand, azure clear water, all this will delight tourists who have arrived there. Nearby are pine groves, so the air is filled with notes of pine needles. The descent into the water is smooth, which is popular with couples with small children. Entrance to the beach is free. The restaurant is the only one built, where you can enjoy delicious grilled fish, as well as buy soft drinks or ice cream. Tourists get to the place on foot, using a hiking trail called Santier du Littoral.
'Plage des Salins' - such a place of rest will be needed by nudists, as well as people who love solitude. The calm beach environment, quiet clear water and stunning views make it as much a favorite among tourists as the rest, where thousands of people come every year. Entrance there is free. From the infrastructure, several cafes and shops can be distinguished, as well as a restaurant where visitors buy drinks and food. There are cabins and showers. Get to the beach on foot within 2 hours. Therefore, it is best to travel by private transport or public bus (Route de Salines).
Cover with a golden tan.
The beaches of Saint-Tropez beckon with soft yellow sand and gentle turquoise waves. All beaches are well equipped, you can easily find changing rooms, toilets and showers, cafes and restaurants for every taste and beach goods.
Explore the Azure Coast.
To do this, you can rent a boat or rent a yacht. Just imagine: seagulls, glare on the water, champagne, fruits and a perfect tan. Prices can range from $500 for a small sailboat to several thousand dollars a day for a luxury yacht. And if you are a fan of yachting, then keep in mind that in early October, a sailing regatta usually takes place in Saint-Tropez.
Enjoy local cuisine.
In your free time from swimming, you can unwind in one of the beach restaurants - luxurious tents and picturesque terraces are at your service, as well as a chic menu, a huge cocktail and wine list, as well as helpful waiters in a non-French way.
Engage in active recreation.
In Saint-Tropez, you can master yachting, water skiing, windsurfing, scuba diving, in general, any kind of recreation that your heart desires.
Listen to live music.
During the day, beach cafes serve smoothies and refreshing cocktails, and at night they invite trendy DJs and musicians to a concert. Apero & Music Live Port, Papagayo, Stefano forever - any music to your taste, from cabaret to dance hits.
Addicted to fashion shopping.
The streets of Saint-Tropez, like nothing else, contribute to the thirst for shopping. The concentration of stylish outfits on these streets rolls over. In search of luxury, head to Rue François Sibilli, where Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Celine and more boutiques welcome you. In search of more democratic things, you can go to the neighboring streets or to the La Chemise Tropezienne shopping center, located right there. Brigitte Bardot's boutique, located on Place es Lices, does not do without attention, where you can buy something for memory, for example, a scarf with her initials.
It is difficult to get to Saint-Tropez by public transport: this town is located away from the main bus and railway routes, so you have to make transfers or take a taxi (from Nice airport to Saint-Tropez a taxi will cost about 200-350 euro).
For getting to Saint-Tropez from Nice Airport you should change buses 1-2 times. The easiest option is to take the number 3003 bus to Saint-Raphael (1.5 hours on the way) and then the 7601 bus from Saint-Raphael to Saint-Tropez (approximately another 1.5 hours on the way).Remember that the bus schedule (here it is the main transport) varies greatly depending on the season and day of the week! Check carefully on the official websites.
The easiest way to get to Saint-Tropez is by ferry, which departs from many cities of the Cote d'Azur: Cannes, Golfe-Juan, Nice, etc. For example, you can arrive from Cannes by morning boat and return by evening. You will have 4 - 5 hours to walk around Saint-Tropez and see all its sights. There is a ferry from Saint-Tropez to Sainte-Maxime opposite, which runs regularly during the summer.
The nearest railway station to Saint-Tropez is located in the neighboring resort St-Raphaël. You can get from Saint-Raphael to Saint-Tropez either by boat or by bus. The bus station is located right next to the train station, at platform 1. But train traffic and bus schedules are not particularly coordinated, so you may have to wait. In the old port of Saint-Raphaël you can take a boat from Gare Maritime de St-Raphaël, rue Pierre-Auble to Saint-Tropez (about 50 minutes on the way) 4-5 times a day from April to October. Between 10 and 15 buses a day leave from the Gare Routière bus station in Saint-Raphael to Saint-Tropez (line 7601, Varlib company). The journey takes from 1:30 to 2:15 h, depending on the bus and traffic.
If you arrive by car, then be aware that parking in Saint-Tropez is pretty bad, especially in summer. You can park at Parking des Lices, under the place des Lices; entrance from avenue Paul-Roussel. Designed for 471 cars, this parking is free for the first 30 minutes, 45 minutes cost 2.50 €, 1 hour - 3.50 €, every next 15 minutes - 0.50 €, 24 hours - 44.00 €. Despite the price, many owners of expensive cars prefer this parking lot, as it is the best guarded. The second car park is Parking du Nouveau Port, avenue Charles de Gaulle, located by the sea (right next to the Saint-Tropez bus station).
Everything in the southern city of Saint-Tropez is all about entertainment. The whole of Saint-Tropez is a big fun! But a little more about nightclubs and bars, which are so great to go to after a day at the beach or shopping.
This is a nightclub for the rich and famous locals and tourists who can afford it. The upstairs club has a dance floor and a small bar. The music that can be heard in this club is modern - techno, house and other directions. Dark purples and greens predominate in the interior of the room, and white lights sparkle everywhere, which, by the way, also outline the winding staircase leading to the entrance to this luxurious club. At the door of the club you are met by the doorman, oh how! Opening hours: April-October 00:00 - until dawn.
This classic dance club has been at the forefront of the Saint Tropez entertainment scene for decades. Quite popular with the locals, the club provides an avant-garde atmosphere and fun until late at night. Opening hours: October-Easter Fri-Sat 23:00-06:00; Easter - September daily 23:00-06:00
The night club located in the port attracts mainly people in their twenties. In general, the bar is considered the best dance club in the city. After midnight, it's just not overcrowded here. The club itself consists of two halls, one with a bar, and the other with a spacious dance floor and stage area. Bands perform here almost every night, so by the time of the performance, the seats are already occupied, and the hall is packed “from wall to wall”. The dimly lit bar features sofas and long tables. All in all, visiting this hot club is a must during your trip to Saint-Tropez. Opening hours: end of April-November every day 23:30-05:00
All the party-goers of the city and city guests who are ready to dance at least all night until dawn flock here. This nightclub is extremely popular in Saint Tropez! It is located in the Byblos hotel. To get into the club, you need to go through a fairly strict dress control (dress beautifully!). The decor inside is a perfect gloss and chic. Admission is free, but you have to drink at least one drink to get inside this huge nightclub - those are the rules. Beware: the average price of drinks starts from 20 euro! Opening hours: June-September daily 23:00-until dawn; October-May Fri-Sat 23:00-until dawn
This bar and cafe plus a hot nightclub is quite popular in the city. The bar is located in the old part of St. Tropez and is famous for its salsa evenings with incendiary Latin American music and a relaxing and vibrant atmosphere. The setting is very intimate and cozy. There are a number of small tables, a lounge area with sofas and tables in the fresh air, in the shade of ficuses and palm trees. If you get hungry, try something from the local menu, like juicy tapas, and wash it all down with beer and a cocktail (the choice of drinks is very good!). This cafe is a great place to enjoy a relaxing late night break. Working hours: every day 18:00-03:00

Today your driver took us from Nice airport to Saint Tropez. Thank you very much! A nice guy named Alex met us and helped us carry our bags to the car. The price is very low, lower than Uber. We often spend time in Saint-Tropez, usually 5-6 times during the summer. We will continue to order your cars.
