Destination: France: St.-Tropez

Lay of the Land Text Size A A A

The Place des Lices, the central square where old-timers play pétanque and the biweekly outdoor market is held, is the place to orient yourself in the village. It continues to a row of cafés on the quay of the Old Port, where the mega-yachts are moored, and near the harbor, a maze of streets lined with designer boutiques snakes its way to a 16th-century citadel on a hill. In neighboring Ramatuelle, the beaches of Pampelonne occupy a wide swath of coastline for some five and a half miles.

TIP: Hikers shouldn’t miss the sentier littoral, a coastal footpath that begins at the Plage des Graniers and ends at the nearly deserted Cap Lardier and its breathtaking Plage de l’Escalet.
