Full Day Private Trip to Saint-Tropez from Cannes

Discover the real charm of the Riviera, from medieval hilltop villages to glamorous harbors, entirely at your own pace.


A private day trip to Saint-Tropez from Cannes gives you the freedom to explore one of the most iconic destinations on the French Riviera without the constraints of a group tour. Your private vehicle collects you directly from your hotel and remains at your disposal for the full eight hours.

Saint-Tropez is far more than the celebrity-filled harbor it is often portrayed as. Behind the famous Vieux Port lies a historic fishing village with narrow cobblestone lanes, a centuries-old church, and a genuinely Mediterranean pace of life that rewards those who take the time to explore on foot.

The route also takes in Grimaud, a classic perched village with a ruined castle and an old windmill, and Port Grimaud, a planned canal town modeled on Venetian architecture. Together these stops add considerable depth to what might otherwise be a single-destination excursion.

Because this is a fully private experience, the itinerary can be adjusted to match your interests. Whether you want to linger at the morning market on Place aux Herbes or spend more time along the Vieux Port waterfront, the day is shaped around your preferences rather than a fixed schedule.

Tour Highlights

Fully private vehicle with hotel pickup and drop-off included from Cannes, Nice, or Monaco.

Visit Grimaud, a well-preserved medieval hilltop village with a ruined castle and a working windmill.

Explore Port Grimaud, a unique planned canal town built in the Venetian style with French fisherman architecture.

Walk through La Ponche, the historic pedestrian quarter of Saint-Tropez, lined with boutiques and cafes.

Admire the Vieux Port harbor, where traditional fishing boats share the water with fashionable yachts.

See the 18th-century Eglise de Notre-Dame de l'Assomption, with its Italian Baroque bell tower.

Discover Place aux Herbes, the ancient market square filled with colorful fruit, vegetable, and flower stalls each morning.

Itinerary

1
Hotel Pickup in Cannes, Nice, or Monaco

Your private vehicle arrives at your hotel at the agreed time. No waiting for other passengers and no shared transfers apply to this experience.

2
Grimaud Village

Grimaud is a classic village perche situated in the Cote d'Azur hills not far from the coast. The village features a ruined hilltop castle, an old mill, and stone streets that reflect centuries of Provencal history.

3
Port Grimaud

Known as the French Venice, Port Grimaud was designed in 1962 by Alsatian architect Francois Spoerry on former marshland at the mouth of the river Giscle. Its canals and colorful fisherman-style houses create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else on the Riviera.

4
La Ponche and the Old Town of Saint-Tropez

The historic core of Saint-Tropez is best explored on foot, beginning at Rue de la Citadelle and winding through pedestrian alleyways to the Eglise de Notre-Dame de l'Assomption. The church's Baroque bell tower is a landmark of the town skyline, and inside visitors can see the bust of Saint Tropez himself.

5
Vieux Port and Place aux Herbes

The Vieux Port is the atmospheric heart of Saint-Tropez, where pastel-colored houses line the waterfront and local artists display their paintings along the quay. Nearby, Place aux Herbes hosts a colorful morning market that has supplied the town with fresh produce for generations.
