Saint-Tropez
The most famous star fishing port on the French Riviera, with the old harbor full of luxury yachts, a yellow bell tower and the Annonciade Museum as highlights.
The old harbor of Saint-Tropez is crowded with luxury yachts, and the colorful houses and cafés along the waterfront are a classic sight. A 16th-century castle on the hilltop, now the Maritime History Museum, offers views over the bay. The Annonciade Museum holds pointillist and Fauvist paintings by Signac, Matisse and others. On Tuesday and Saturday mornings, there is a market at Place des Lices. The beaches of Pampelonne to the south are known for their beach clubs. Roads are severely congested in summer, so taking a seasonal ferry from places such as Hyères is faster.
