Staying in Centre-ville de Saint-Maxime
Saint-Maxime sits directly across the Gulf of Saint-Tropez from its more famous neighbour, and its town centre, the Centre-ville, is where most of the action is. The neighbourhood runs along the seafront promenade and spreads a few blocks inland, placing you within a short walk of the sandy beach, the marina, the market, and a solid choice of cafes and restaurants. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious compared to Saint-Tropez proper: you get the same blue water and Provencal sunshine with noticeably less congestion and lower prices. A regular ferry service connects Saint-Maxime to Saint-Tropez in about 15 minutes, so you can cross the bay for a day trip without dealing with the famously slow road traffic.
