One of the world’s most famous coastlines and the original playground of the rich and famous, this celebrated area has something for everyone. Against the backdrop of the undulating hills of the Massif des Maures, the medieval villages of Plan de la Tour, Gassin, Ramatuelle and Grimaud nestle between vineyards and tree-covered hillsides. These delightful, romantic villages have retained their rustic, provençal charm. Here one can enjoy sampling the local wine and cuisine, visiting the traditional markets, or just spending time in one of the pavement cafés watching the world go by. Nearby, the attractive coastal town of Ste Maxime also offers a colourful market, lively bars and some excellent local cuisine. Nearby St Tropez, easily accessible by car or a 15 minute ferry ride from Ste Maxime, is the epitome of glamour and opulence. The town buzzes with those who come to enjoy the celebrated restaurants and bars and soak up the atmosphere on the celebrity-studded Pampelonne beaches.
