Nice
Taking a day trip from Nice to Saint Tropez is a great way to spend a day out on the Cote d’Azur when you are visiting France. Saint Tropez is easily accessible from Nice by many modes of transportation, and the town offers enough to see and do for visitors to spend a day there.
While the town and its surroundings are best known for their beaches, you don’t have to be a sun worshipper to enjoy Saint Tropez. You can also find great shopping, museums with rotating art exhibitions, cinema, opera, restaurants, spas, history, and more.
Additionally, there are festivals that take place throughout the year, including the famous Harley festival, the Bravades, the Ailes de Saint Tropez, the Porsche car meeting, and the Voiles de Saint Tropez. Going to the festivals on a day trip from Nice can save you the hassle of booking pricey accommodation and fighting crowds at restaurants and bars in the evening.
Getting to Saint Tropez from Nice is easy. If you have a car, you can drive there, but beware that traffic can be heavy in the high season. A good alternative is to take a ferry from Nice’s port. In the summer, ferry schedules are timed so that you can easily take a day trip from Nice to Saint Tropez.
