Best Places to Eat
Sizzling St-Tropez lives up to its reputation as a mythical
fishing port with magnificent sex appeal. While away the
days strolling the village and people-watching in the place
des Lices, or sipping a cappuccino alongside the yacht-lined
quay. Then head out to explore the peninsula’s soul-stirring
coastal paths, chichi beach clubs and vine-knitted capes.
When you’re ready to move out of the limelight, you’ll be
enveloped by nature in the Massif des Maures, where thick
chestnut groves harbour small villages and surprising vistas.
The main trio of islands in the Îles d’Hyères offers a splendid, quiet coastal escape. Inland, in the Haut-Var, meander
stone villages, each with its own character and history, and
meet the laid-back people who maintain an unpretentious
but enviable way of life. Oh, and allow plenty of time to dine
well.
