Things to do.......leisure activities:
Beach and water sports: Jet ski's, kayaks, hobycats, windsurf boards and pedalos can all be rented on Pampelonne beach. Most bars and beach clubs rent sun loungers and parasols by the day.
Windsurfing and water skiing instruction at Bouillabaise beach, 3 km.
Tennis: Two newly resurfaced tennis courts at Les Jardins and table tennis by the pool.
Golf: 30 golf courses within 1 hour's drive. Gassin Golf and Country Club is the closest, 5km, but a little too exclusive, Golf de Beauvallon and Golf de St Maxime are excellent and challenging courses which are more affordable, both have a number of greens overlooking the Gulf de St Tropez.
Cycling: The area has a large number of cycle routes and cycles can be rented locally.
Out and About:
Walking: Access to the Sentier Littoral is from Pampelonne beach. This coastal pathway is almost complete from Nice to Hyeres. Many of the tiny beaches & promontories can only be reached by foot or boat which means they are quiet, peaceful & unspoilt.
Touring: The Cote d'azure is very diverse. Les Jardins is the perfect base to explore the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Nice, Cannes & Monte Carlo, the ancient hillside villages of Ramatuelle, Gassin & Grimaud, old ports of St Tropez, Hyeres Toulon, Marseilles & Antibes. Not to mention the mountains, beautiful Provencal countryside, the countless vineyards & picturesque villages.
Shopping: Almost every designer brand is available in St Tropez's beautiful 16 century shopping area.
Markets: The colourful farmers market is in the shade of the giant elm trees at the Place de Lices on Tuesday & Saturday mornings. Here you can buy locally grown fruit, vegetables, farm reared pork, local olives, tapenade, anchioade & paella.
The beautiful walks of the Sentier Littorel are best tackled early or later in the season when the weather is still fantastic. The area enjoys temperatures between 21-26 degrees in May, 26-30 degrees in June and 24-29 degrees In September.
