St. Tropez--should we go?
My hubby and I are trying to figure out our itinerary while we stay in a small town near Nice. I know St. Trop is a little further away and have read mixed reviews. Should we keep it on the itinerary or nix it in leu of other towns more worthwhile to see?

I like treacherous fun! If the drive is really beautiful and the beaches are the best around there, I may want to see it....can anyone comment on that b/f I definitely nix it?
How far is it from Nice? I will be there the 2nd week in June (traffic-wise). Thank you!

The road along the coast, particularly from Cannes onwards, is beautiful, but can take a long time. 3 hours would not be unusual, unless you go very early. The motorway and then down to StTrop from Le Muy is faster, but not particularly nice. I love StTropez; for me it would be worth it.

One way to see St Trop is to stay in San Maxime just over the bay you avoid the road into St Trop and take the 10 minute crossing on the ferry for about 11 euros, plenty of nice bars and resturants in San maxime for the evening and much cheaper than St Trop

If you really want to go to St-Tropez, stay at the nearby St-Maxime or Fréjus, then take the boat over to St-Tropez for the day. Trying to do it as a day trip from the Nice area won't leave you much time, given the about-6-hour round trip.

Hi there,
We did end up going and LOVED St. Trop. (we agree with you Tulips!) It was one of our favorite places on the coast. We went en route back from Provence so we didn't end up in a line of traffic to or from so it worked out perfectly.
Thanks again for the advice.
