Hi !!
Looking for some general information on St Maxime. I know its near St Tropez so is that were we would need to go or is there much to do and see around st maxime itself?

We have hired a car so have transport to move around. Any ideas/tips/information would be great. We are staying in saint maxime for 4 days so would like to stay pretty close to it and not spend the time in the car!

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks
PB

I just checked and there isn't a lot here on Virtual Tourist about Sainte-Maxime. You can see what is on VT by going to http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/France/Provence_Alpes_Cote_dAzur/Sainte_Maxime-92691/TravelGuide-Sainte_Maxime.html

Here are two other web sites with quite a bit of information that you might want to check. They have lists of places to go and things to do along with the usual transportation information.

Good luck.

Hi, As you posed your question at the end of last month, I don't know if you have already travelled to Sainte Maxime.... I live here, and can tell you that it is beautiful, and full of things to do.. Saint Tropez is of course a "must" visit, once in the day, and if you have time take a night trip... but don't drive it... cos the coast road is sooooooo busy.... there is a ferry trip that goes right across the bay and is frankly a total pleasure!!!!

In terms of things to do... there are a couple of nightclubs, a glass bottomed boat, day boat trips which take you along some of the most beautful coasts in the world.. (in my opinion)....the "Petit Train" is great for a bit of history and of course a visit to Provence wouldn't be complete without visiting some of the hilltop traditional Provencal viallages!!! Lets just say, potentially you will be very busy... alternatively if you just want to relax, then Sainte Maxime has several gorgeous beaches all within walking distance, or short drives away!!! Have fun, and if there is anything else you would like to know, please feel free to email me saml0302@hotmail.com, regards Sam
