Saint-Tropez and the surrounding area
Culture and heritage
The Gulf of Saint-Tropez is a must-see destination for anyone wishing to combine seaside relaxation with cultural discovery. This unique area, steeped in history and charm, offers much more than its legendary beaches. It invites visitors to explore an exceptional wealth of heritage and natural beauty, nestled between the lush green hills and sparkling waters of the Mediterranean.
Among the treasures of this region are the hilltop villages of Grimaud, Gassin, Ramatuelle, Sainte-Maxime and Cogolin, all of which positively exude authenticity. These picturesque places, with their cobbled streets, light-filled stone houses and breathtaking views over the Gulf, transport visitors to the heart of Provence. Much more than just tourist stops, they tell a living story, that of a timeless and endlessly welcoming region.
Each village has its own identity and treasures to share: lively Provençal markets, welcoming cafés in which to sit and watch the world go by, and artisans’ studios where local skills and traditions are preserved and passed on. These are places in which to wander, soak up the unique atmosphere and discover a truly authentic side of the region, far from the hustle and bustle of the coast. A trip to one of these villages is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the history, culture and gentle way of life that encapsulates the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
