1. Nice airport to Saint Tropez by car (route and travel time)

 

 

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.

Detour in St Tropez

 

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.

9. Information About Saint Tropez

 

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.

 

Important information about Saint Tropez

 

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.

 

 

1) History of St Tropez:

 

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.

 

History of St Tropez

 

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.

 

History of Saint Tropez

 

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.

We traveled in France and spent a week in Saint Tropez. We flew to Nice and got from there by car. We booked Mercedes V class for our transfers. We liked everything very much. The car is clean, the driver is punctual. We paid 330 euro for each transfer.

I thank the BYCAR company for the transfer they made for me this summer. There were big traffic jams in Saint Tropez and St Maxime, but the car was comfortable and it had wi-fi, so I drove to my villa safely and comfortably.

My friend and I ordered a Peugeot 508. Nice car for the price. The driver met with a sign. We arrived at 23:00, so we slept on the road while we were driving. Thank you!
