Saint-Tropez Suggestions

[sunlover757]

Our ship will be in Saint-Tropez for the day during the first week of September. Any suggestions for tours or things to do on our own? All suggestions are welcome. The ship is offering two excursions that we're considering - one to Gassin & Port Grimaud and another to La Garde-Freinet. Not sure whether to take a tour here or spend time exploring Saint-Tropez on our own. Any insights are greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!

Gassin is a beautiful Provencal village.  Port Grimaud is a striking, modern (30+ years?) development built on canals.  You will probably get a boat tour there.  There are great views in that drive.  La Garde is also a nice village higher up in the Maures. 

 

You said you will be there "for the day."  You should be able to take one of those tours and still have 2-3 hours to spend in St T.  Saint Tropez is very easy to do on your own.

Thanks for your insights. The Gassin + Port Grimaud and La Garde-Freinet tours are each about 4 hours long, so we'd probably have 3-4 hours to explore Saint-Tropez. From your comments, it sounds like Gassin + Port Grimaud might be best if we do one of those tours. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Sounds like a plan. Enjoy.
