St. Tropez & Côte d’Azur Travel Guide

Discover the Glamour, Charm, and Coastal Magic of the French Riviera

The Côte d’Azur, or French Riviera, is a timeless blend of Mediterranean beauty, Provençal elegance, and jet-set glamour. At its heart lies St. Tropez, the legendary seaside town that has captivated artists, icons, and travelers for decades. From pastel-colored ports and designer boutiques to lavender-scented hills and glittering beach clubs, this stretch of southern France is a celebration of la belle vie.

This comprehensive travel guide highlights the best of St. Tropez and the surrounding Côte d’Azur, offering inspiration for your next luxury escape—paired perfectly with Isle Blue’s handpicked collection of private villas.

When to Visit St. Tropez and the Côte d’Azur

  • Late Spring (May to June): The region awakens with warm days, blooming gardens, and fewer crowds. A perfect time to explore coastal villages and dine alfresco.

  • Summer (July to August): Peak season with sun-soaked beaches, vibrant nightlife, and an unmistakable Riviera buzz. Ideal for yacht charters, beach clubs, and cultural events.

  • Early Autumn (September to early October): The Riviera slows down, offering warm weather, golden sunsets, and more relaxed charm. Vineyards begin their harvest and the sea remains inviting.

  • Winter (November to March): Quieter and cooler, ideal for a peaceful escape in hilltop villages and cultural sightseeing with crisp air and few tourists.
