(Hi Beau' - like the new photo!)
Nice - St Tropez? If you want to waste money you can get a limo or even charter a helicopter, but if you want a sensible price you are going to have to brave public transport. I know that causes palpitations for some folk but this is Europe and thats how things work.
You have basically two choices.
49 Euro buys you a Trans Cotes d'Azur boat day trip from Nice Quai Lunel Tues to Sun in high season July and August, otherwise Tues Thurs and Sunday until September, after that forget it. 9.00am depart Nice 11.30 - 16.30 in St Tropez, and return.
If that doesn't suit, up a gear - set out early to Nice Gare Ville and hop on a train hour and a bit to St Raphael. That munches up 80% of the distance at a sensible price. From St Raphael you have three choices:
Local buses to St Tropez - a bit treacherous with traffic
Boat old port St Raphael to St Tropez - 5 crossings a day back and forth
Shell out for a taxi for the last leg of the journey.
Thats it. Now you know why the stars all charter a yacht for 20,000 a day and tender in for the clubs at night
Now looking at it this way the 250 limo may be a bargain.
Cheers
