Saint-Tropez is a port town on the gulf, known for its old harbour, ancient lanes and Mediterranean beaches. The centre has lively squares, warm-coloured façades and traces of its maritime history. You can alternate a stroll through the streets with a break on a terrace, a museum visit and a swim; the atmosphere changes noticeably between the busy summer days and the quieter periods in spring or autumn.

The Musée de la gendarmerie et du cinéma, 190 m away, explores the history of cinema associated with the town. Place des Lices, 570 m away, is a meeting place beneath the plane trees, while the citadel houses a museum devoted to maritime history and overlooks the surrounding area. You can also watch the boats in the harbour and walk along the seafront. Bouillabaisse Beach is 650 m away; other small beaches line the coast. A bus station and a maritime station serve the town, and a car makes it possible to explore the villages and beaches around the gulf.

In summer, allow time for getting around: the streets and coastal roads become busier. Spring and early autumn are well suited to exploring on foot and spending days by the sea, with generally milder temperatures. You could start the day with the collections at the Musée de l’Annonciade, continue through the old quarter and end at the harbour at sunset. To enjoy a change of scenery, set aside another outing for the beaches and villages of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
