Traveling from St. Raphael to Saint-Tropez by boat

After a very pleasant crossing of less than an hour—from the Gulf of Saint-Raphaël and Sainte-Maxime to Saint-Tropez, with views of Cap Lardier and Cap Taillat—you’ll arrive at the legendary port and explore the citadel, the harbor, and the old town of this world-famous village.
