Day Trip to Saint-Tropez and Bormes-les-Mimosas
A full-day private journey through the glamour of Saint-Tropez and the charm of Provence's coast
This Saint-Tropez private day tour brings together two of the most iconic destinations on the French Riviera, combining the legendary village atmosphere of Saint-Tropez with the scenic coastal routes that define Cote de Provence.
Beginning with a visit to the commanding Citadelle de Saint-Tropez, you will gain historical perspective on a town that has evolved from a modest fishing port into one of Europe's most celebrated destinations. Free time in the old center allows you to explore the narrow lanes, the port-side squares, and the galleries that have drawn artists and visitors for generations.
The journey continues through scenic viewpoints along the Provence coastline, offering a deeper understanding of the region's celebrated wine culture. Cote de Provence produces some of France's most recognized rose wines, and the landscapes that frame these vineyards are as compelling as the wines themselves.
Tour Highlights
Visit the historic Citadelle de Saint-Tropez, a 16th-century fortress with sweeping views over the bay and town below.
Explore the old village center of Saint-Tropez at your own pace, discovering art galleries, artisan shops, and waterfront cafes.
Travel through curated scenic viewpoints along the Cote de Provence, capturing memorable landscapes of hills and sea.
Learn about Cote de Provence wines, one of France's most famous appellations, directly in the landscapes where they are produced.
Discover the medieval village of Bormes-les-Mimosas, a hilltop gem known for its flowers, stone streets, and panoramic views.
Travel privately with a dedicated guide who adapts the pace and focus of the day to your interests and questions.
