Saint-Tropez, After Summer
The late season has its privileges. Softer light, lingering days, the village reclaimed. In September, Saint-Tropez slows its pace and reveals another way to experience the Mediterranean: freer, more intimate, endlessly alluring.
Time, Rediscovered
Saint-Tropez belongs to those who know how to wait. The beaches grow quieter, lunches linger, and terraces slowly come to life as the light turns golden. The day begins with a few laps in the pool, a coffee in the garden, then a leisurely walk into the village.
A market, a gallery, Place des Lices… A few days are all it takes to rediscover the pleasure of simple things, without ever having to watch the clock.
And then there is the sea, still warm, and Pampelonne, waiting to be enjoyed in peace, between long, languid swims.
When the Sails Take to the Sea
26 September – 4 October 2026
Every year, as summer draws to a close, white sails extend the season. In the bay, the finest classic and modern yachts gather for several days of racing, while the port and quays come alive with the rhythm of the event.
Just a few minutes’ walk takes you into the heart of the excitement of Les Voiles, before returning, as evening falls, to a more intimate atmosphere.
Extend the summer. Experience the season in all its gentle beauty.
For the duration of a getaway
The day begins at an unhurried pace, before strolling down to the beaches of Pampelonne, where the Mediterranean, still warm, can be savoured far from the crowds. Then comes time to wander through the market, browse the galleries and stroll around Place des Lices, in a village that has found its rhythm again. Finally, there is the pleasure of dining, as Provençal cuisine takes to the terrace in step with the setting sun.
Some days unfold higher up, around Château de La Messardière, for a suspended moment overlooking the bay. And to bring each day to a close, Pan Deï Palais offers Indian-inspired cuisine and the quiet charm of a retreat away from the bustle.
