Saint-Tropez Travel Forum

I am a teacher who needs the most inexpensive way to get from the airport in Nice to Saint Tropez. I don't want to use scooter, rental car or taxi. I can do bus, boat, or train. Please help because I am so confused as I am doing this by myself. Also, if you know of any inexpensive places to eat, that would be most helpful as well.

Hello,
We are planning a trip to st tropez this summer for 3 weeks and we are looking for vacation rentals. Could anyone recommend us the best web-sites to find appartment or studio rentals or also the real-estate agencies. The ones that we are looking usually offering the villas. Thank you in advance.

Does anyone know how much a taxi would cost from St Tropez to Nice? We have to catch a flight in Nice at 8:45am and I'm thinking that Taxi would be the speediest way.

Hi there

My boyfriend and I are holidaying in Cannes on 11th Sept 07 for 10 days. I've been trying to find out about a few things but to no avail...can anyone please help?? Im so excited :-)

Questions are:

1) Is it easy enough to get a boat trip to St Tropez from Cannes? I so, can I book something online or any idea how much they cost on average....certainly not looking for my own crew....just a public poorpers tour please heee heeee.

2) I've hired a car so we can get to as many places as poss. Any other places anyone can recommend that we should visit apart from St Tropez (by boat), Cannes, Nice and Monaco??

3) This might be me being naive or extremely stoopid....can the general public (the poorpers again) get into Club 55? If so, any idea on how to book? The website doesn't give any indication how apart from a phone number.

4) Just a general guide on how much the cost of living is. I've found out about Cannes - seems suprisingly normal (i.e. bottle of water €0.50, 3 course meal €35). Was just wondering about St Tropez and Monaco. We have spends of around £2000 for the whole 10 days, does anyone think we need more?? Jeepers!

Thanks so much for your help. I've been on the net for 3 days looking for as much info as I can, but these are the last few questions I have.

Hi,

We are planning a week on the Cote d'Azur in September. We will be staying in St Tropez for 3 nights and are trying to decide on a hotel. We want to be walking distance from restaurants, and have car parking.

We have found the following hotels:

Le Mouillage - Looks lovely, car parking, swimming pool
Port Du Bastide - Looks nice, car parking - no pool

Le Mouillage looks the nicest but I think it's a bit further than Port du Bastide. Can anyone tell me if they are far apart? Is Le Mouillage too far?

Has anyone stayed at either of these hotels - I can't find any reviews anywhere.

People also mentioned the Sube. I know the location is great - but there is no car parking ...

Any help appreciated.

Hi-
I was wondering how the beaches are in St. tropez? Most of the pictures i see are people on boats. Are the beaches nice; is the water beautiful?
Thanks :)

I need to get from Monaco to St Tropez on Sunday July 15th. Is there some direct way to go other than a limo? Are all the restaurants open on Sunday?

Can anybody suggets the cheapest and shortest way to go from St tropez to Ibiza?
I guess I can take the train from St. Raphael to Nice or Marseille or Paris or Toulon or Genova and then try to catch one of the chep airlines like ryan air, jet fly air etc..
but I am just not sure which airlines fly from where to where and if anybody did this route from St tropez to ibiza, I need advice on the best route (and some cheap way!)

thanks!

Hi

I'd like to take my family to the Rivierra but I'm struggling to find somewhere suitable. My requirements are:

1. Suitable for families (my daughter is 12 years old)
2. Hotel or apartments with pool (not camp sites or chalets)
3. Resort should have entertainment in the evenings suitable for families
4. Close to train station - I don't want to drive whilst on holiday !
5. Plenty of restaurants

I don't really want to stay a few miles out of resorts. I like Nice but I think it probably is a bit too big.

Generally, we tend to spend a lot of time by the pool, but going off on the odd day trip. So a nice hotel is important. In the evenings we like to visit restaurants then walk around the resort or watch live bands or magicians etc.

Can anyone recommend anywhere ? Thanks.

Already posted in St maxime section without any luck :)

Basically looking for some info on the region...

Many Thanks

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

Hello friends,

I would like to go from Nice to St Tropez but i think the price of the taxi are too much expensive on the airport and we can't choose the car we want , the limo the price are too much expensive , i have found a company the name is easydrivers.fr and they do luxury cars with drivers for the taxi price around 250 € of course it's an offical limousine what do you think about that ?

Bye see you on the papagayo.

Anybody know a reasonably priced hotel near the downtown area of St. Tropez? I go there Aug 25 of this year. Thanks. DT

Hi,

I'm planning to visit St. Tropez in May (around mid to end May). Is there any way to catch a boat or ferry to St. Tropez around this time? All the other posts I read that named places were good but they start no earlier than June 1st. HELP!

Thanks

Hi again,

I saw Porquerolles Islands are a good place I could show to my mom and lil' brother. From Cannes it's 49Eur. I was reading these islands are more near St-Trop, but didn't find boats from S-T to the islands...

About acocmodations, I shall stay 2nights in Saint-Tropez, but would like to find some not expensive accomodation. I prefer soending outside or/and in discos than in the place where I only sleep :)

Thanks for your help!

Hi, I head out to St-Tropez for the first time, from 20 to 24 July , I'd like to know your advice on these trendy places where I plan to go. Otherwise, in Cannes I remember the Baoli.
Is Cannes as fashionable on a nightclub point of view?

About the water ... I prefer the colour of the beach in Nice, but there's no sand ... I like the sand in Cannes, but the water isn't as beautiful as in Nice. What about St- Trop ? Is there a place mixing both my ideals? :-) Or any beach around where I could go? ... My mother and younger brother will be there and I wanted to take them to some nice small island or beach (I tried Marguerite Island in Cannes)

Thanks very much in advance !!!!

I am staying in Cannes, but would like to take a day trip to St. Tropez. What's the best way to get there other than renting a car?

I would appreciate any suggestions on an itinerary, hotels, restaurants, places to see/things to do, and any other good advice you have to offer.

Thank you very, very much!

Are there trains or buses from San Sebastian in Spain to St Tropez? Where can I look them up? (Price, times, travel time, etc) What is the best way to get there (keeping in mind a backpackers budget)

So my understanding is that there are boat trips that go from St Raphael to St Tropez 5 times a day. Does anyone know what the what the time schedule is?? Is the marina close to the train station??

Thanks,

I am flying into Marseille this next June. I have reserved a hotel in St Tropez for a couple nights and then Cannes for 1 night. The rest of the trip will be in Provence. Should I rent a car and try to drive along the Cote d'Azur? I have heard it is crazy packed with cars and no parking. Or should I train/bus this part of the trip and then rent a car once I get to Avignon? If I train it, how best to go from Marseille to St Tropez?? I read that the train do not go through St Tropez and so I would have to catch a bus or boat??

What is the best way to get to Saint-Tropez from Nice for 8 people?? Does anyone know how to book the ferry/speedboat from the U.S.??
