Why go to Saint-Tropez for your luxury holiday ?

The natural, cultural and historical heritage of Saint-Tropez

The natural heritage of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez is protected to preserve its wild nature. Yachting enthusiasts will fall in love with the absolute beauty of Cap Taillat and its sandy isthmus. The spot between Cap Camarat and Cap Taillat is ideal for enjoying lunch at anchor and undertaking a snorkelling or paddle activity. To feel the Mediterranean essences’ fragrance, let yourself be carried away on a walk along the coastal path, which belongs to the Port-Cros National Park. The magic of the place is still evident from June to September when tourist activity is still reduced.

Saint-Tropez is also a land of culture, and you can discover the works of Signac, Matisse, Derain or Marquet at the Musée de l’Annonciade, created in 1922. The Fauve, Pointillist and Nabis movements are highlighted and reveal a fascinating reflection of the artists around colour.

The Napoleonic heritage of Saint-Tropez can be seen from the coastal path to the imposing Citadel, where the peacocks roam freely, and the panoramic view stretches from the beaches to the Esterel massif and on to the peaks of the Southern Alps. Within the Citadel, you can discover the marine history of Saint-Tropez by visiting the maritime history museum.

Institutions that have made Saint-Tropez famous

One can relax there over a coffee or a glass of rosé in the sun while admiring the most incredible yachts moored in the port of Saint-Tropez. How can you talk about gourmet food without mentioning the mythical dessert that young and old alike can taste greedily at any time of the day?

These are the elements you will find when you dine at the table of Arnaud Donckele, the 3* chef of the Vague d’Or, the gastronomic restaurant of the Cheval Blanc hotel.
