9AM : Tuck into breakfast at the Hotel Sube, a Saint-Tropez icon. From a comfortable balcony seat, you can watch the port come to life as the yacht crews wake up, and listen in on snippets of conversation between Saint-Tropez locals. A slice of local life.

11AM : Take a dive at the École de Voile Yacht Club. At this dream destination of all boating lovers, you can rent a kayak, climb on a catamaran, or take sailboarding, windsurfing, kitesurfing or sea diving lessons, with or without children.

1PM : Go for lunch at La Petite Plage and treat yourself to healthy, light, flavourful summer cuisine from the excellent chef Éric Frechon, all with your feet on the warm sand. With a plate of small sautéed squid or a wild sea bass from the Riviera, a tasteful summer awaits.

5PM : Sink your teeth into a summer treat at La Pâtisserie Cyril Lignac. Savoury buffs and sweet tooths will all find something to plump for, from the pissaladière onion tart to the forest fruit pavlova and tarte tropézienne from this renowned Parisian chef, who recently moved in behind the Musée de l’Annonciade.

2PM : Enjoy the sea and some relaxing farniente at Indie Beach. Natural materials and a wild spirit set the tone from the start: sangria in hand, enjoy the DJs or head for the end of the deck to laze about on a stylish daybed.

6PM : Discover the region’s creative talent at Une Maison à Saint-Tropez. In this family-run institution, Isabelle Castanier presents a series of objects on the theme “intimate tables and stories”. Everything is made by artisans and artists from the South of France.

7PM : Toast the evening at Hera. This wine bar on the Quai de l’Épi plunges guests into the world of the region’s independent winemakers. Following the advice of young Saint-Tropez native Marylou Contreras, you can discover the Bandol rosé from Julien Castell-Reynoard and the Lys des Sables from Fondugues-Pradugues in Ramatuelle.

8PM : Settle under the centuries-old pine trees at La Vague d’Or and let yourself be led on a journey by the exceptional cuisine of chef Arnaud Donckele, a star on the French gastronomy scene. With the Mediterranean just steps away, the chef invokes the genius loci of Provence through a series of sun-soaked produce, wild catches, seasonal recipes, and forgotten treasures.

10PM : Immerse yourself in Saint-Tropez nightlife at the Byblos, an unmissable spot on the evening scene, inaugurated with great fanfare in 1967. Treat yourself to a cocktail at its poolside bar before heading to the Caves du Roy, the place to be for nightclubbers for the past fifty years.

1AM : Tuck yourself into the beautiful bedding of La Ponche, a legendary hotel since 1938.
