About this tour
Your driver collects you from Cannes and steers through the Esterel massif towards the coast. Choose to cross the bay by ferry or continue by road to Saint-Tropez, a former fishing village transformed into a glamorous haven. Loop through the Maures hills along the legendary Pampelonne coastline, stopping at beaches where Bardot once walked. Cap the day at Gassin for sweeping gulf views, then optionally taste wines at Château Minuty before heading home. Nine hours door-to-door.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Cannes hotel and travel through dramatic red-rock scenery in the Esterel before reaching the coast. The ferry option saves driving time and delivers you by water—a pleasant way to arrive. Saint-Tropez itself rewards wandering: colourful harbourside buildings, narrow lanes, the lived-in charm beneath the gloss. The Pampelonne run hugs the coast with multiple beach pulls; these are the same strips where film stars sunbathed decades ago, though now they're busier. Gassin sits high and quiet, offering genuine vistas over the gulf. If you choose the château stop, expect a short vineyard introduction and a glass of rosé.
