Orientation

Its wealth per square kilometer might outdo the Vatican, but St-Tropez is a very tiny town. Walking is the easiest way to get around here between the old and new ports. Unfortunately, the beaches are far away from the town center, requiring shuttles or a Tscooter rental (a good option for those who want freedom from tedious timetables) to get there. The most affordable restaurants, hotels, and shops are on the outskirts of town. The closer you are to the port or the quais, the higher the prices. From the bus station or new port, turn left and walk right into town. The pl. des Lices is the main square that is the most normal, local part of Saint Tropez, with small stands for food, and banks and the market surrounding it. Most of the main roads lead to pl. des Lices. To get to the beaches, either walk around the citadel past the cemetery on Chemin des Graniers, or take the main road at the entrance of the town (Route des Plages) where turning left at any intersection will take you to the beaches.
