Once a sleepy fishing village, St Tropez was catapulted onto the world stage in the 1950s by screen legends such Brigitte Bardot and Sacha Distel. Their endorsement turned it into the chic capital of the French Riviera and these days it's home to many a film star and fashionista. There are now far more luxury yachts than fishing boats moored in the beautiful harbor.
Enjoy a 90-minute panoramic drive from the port to St Tropez by comfortable air-conditioned motorcoach. Upon arrival, disembark the coach and walk with your guide along the waterfront and through the old streets. Check out the pink and yellow houses, many of which have been converted into fashionable cafés and patisseries. You'll also see Place des Lices, a favorite summertime pétanque spot for celebs. Make the most of around two hours of free time for a little retail therapy or a laid-back lunch (at your own expense).
Later on, you'll visit charming Port Grimaud -- also known as the Little Venice of France. This unique resort town looks like a traditional Mediterranean fishing village while, in fact, it's a modern complex of luxury villas and houses linked by a network of canals, neat little bridges and narrow alleyways.
Please note: Lunch is not included. You will have time to purchase lunch at your own expense during the tour. Shopping is limited in villages outside of the main touristic season.
