Le nouvel office de tourisme célébré en grande pompe à Saint-Tropez

Nous ne voulions pas faire une disposition classique avec des conseillers derrière un grand comptoir », souligne laurent grosso, responsable du pôle tourisme pour la mairie de saint-tropez, quelques heures avant l’inauguration du nouvel office de tourisme de la cité du bailli..

Et pour cause, dès l’entrée, les conseillers, installés derrière des bureaux en îlots, viennent directement à la rencontre des visiteurs et peuvent les accompagner à l’aide d’écrans tactiles, mais surtout deux tables numériques permettant de visualiser Saint-Tropez et ses environs en 3D.

89.901 visiteurs accueillis en 2023

Situé quai de l’Épi, le bâtiment entièrement rénové reste dans l’esprit des chantiers navals propres à ce quartier de la commune. Du béton ciré au sol, des poutres brutes, du mobilier en bois plaqués. Seuls éléments de décor qui détonnent, des bandes en papiers qui s’agitent sous l’effet de l’air engouffré par la porte d’entrée ou bien en provenance de la climatisation. Et des nuages suspendus dans l’entrée, entre la verrière de la devanture, et les bureaux du personnel. Un outil moderne estimé à 1,7 million d’euros par la municipalité (lire ci-contre).

"Car l’ancien point d’accueil, situé sur le port était beaucoup trop exigu" , rappelle Sylvie Siri, maire de Saint-Tropez lors de l’inauguration de la nouvelle structure. "Le personnel en charge de l’administration était obligé de travailler dans un autre espace, situé place des Lices." Désormais, tout le monde est au même endroit. La bâtisse compte 231m² de surfaces sur deux niveaux, dont plus de 90m² dédiés uniquement à l’accueil des touristes. En plus des écrans numériques et de l’accueil par le personnel, les touristes pourront accéder à un panel de brochures mais aussi une partie boutique "avec de nombreux produits que nous avons voulu le plus local possible, sans vouloir concurrencer les boutiques de souvenirs de la commune" , décrit Laurent Grosso.

"Ce lieu est stratégique, car c’est la porte d’entrée vers Saint-Tropez, via le Port, le parking, que ce soit pour ceux venus en voiture, en bateau ou en croisière" , poursuit l’édile avant d’égrener quelques chiffres de la saison 2023. "L’office de tourisme a accueilli en 2023, 89.901 visiteurs, dont 32.000 passagers de croisières; soit 12% de fréquentation en plus."

Un chantier qui a évolué

Au chapitre des aléas travaux, le chantier de l’office de tourisme n’y a pas échappé. En raison de "nouvelles dispositions architecturales" dixit la note présentée aux élus lors du conseil, les changements qui ont dû être opérés ont abouti à une hausse de près de 10% du marché démolition-gros œuvre-façades: cela a impacté les mesures de renforcement et confortement de la façade existante (nouveau montant du marché pour le lot n°1: 485.799 euros). Les autres lots ont aussi été touchés par ces modifications initiales: Charpente (+3,75%) avec un choix de tuiles plus conforme aux "règles de l’art" ; menuiseries extérieures (+2,93%), serrurerie (+11%)...etc.

"Comme d’habitude, c’est le ruissellement, on ne maîtrise pas dès le départ", a fusé des rangs de l’opposition.

Directeur des services techniques, Bruno Lesca a rappelé le déroulement d’un projet après la phase budgétaire. "Quand on commence le dossier, on rencontre l’architecte des bâtiments de France. Sur ce projet, il a fait des prescriptions très particulières, notamment sur le toit en tuiles. Ce n’était pas prévu. Parallèlement, le bureau d’études et de contrôle, missionné en même temps que l’architecte, applique la réglementation en fonction de notre projet." Susceptible, donc, de demander des modifications en cours d’exécution.

However, there are lots of beautiful beaches and other areas to explore should you have 2 days in St Tropez or more to spend.

Getting To & Around St Tropez

Getting to and around on your Nice to St Tropez day trip is a breeze but it also comes with various options, since most modes of transportation can get you to the lovely city.

From Nice , there are no direct trains to St Tropez, however, you can hop on an SNCF train that travels from Nice-Ville to Saint-Raphaël Valescure station. You can view train schedules here .

Finally, there are also a number of guided tours available such as this small group tour if you prefer to go with an organised group.

1 Day in St Tropez Itinerary

When visiting Nice or other beautiful areas on the Côte d’Azur (such as Cannes or Monaco ), a Nice to St Tropez day trip is a must-do, especially for those who can’t get enough of France.

Most people may have heard of the fabulous St Tropez and the famous people who anchor their yachts at the city’s harbour but there is so much more to the city.

St Tropez Vieux Port

You’ll start your time in St Tropez at the iconic harbour that attracts people from all over. Here you’ll find some of the largest and most impressive boats, as well as pastel-coloured buildings lining the harbour.

Place des Lices Market

Just a short 10-minute walk from the harbour, you’ll come across Place des Lices Market in the old town. Here you’ll find a lovely market in the morning on Tuesdays and Saturdays that sells flowers, souvenirs and fresh produce. In the square, you may find locals playing a game of “boules,” the French ball game.

At the Place des Lices Market, you’ll get the feeling of the old charming St Tropez, as you’ll have a break from the luxury side and shop alongside locals.

You can also simply take in all of the hustle and bustle and people-watch at a streetside café while experiencing all the beautiful fresh produce that makes up the local cuisine. And those who want to explore the local food and wine further will love this guided food tour of the city.

Citadel of Saint-Tropez Museum of Maritime

After the Place des Lices Market, you’ll walk to the Citadel of Saint-Tropez Museum of Maritime, where you’ll get a breathtaking overview of the city from above. The museum is located at a fortress from the 16th century.

While in the past the fortress used to protect the city from possible invasions, it now houses historical maritime artefacts and various treasures like a ship from the 16th century. Here you’ll learn about St Tropez’s interesting seafarer history and more.

Cimetière marin de Saint-Tropez

When thinking about visiting a cemetery, you might picture a gloomy setting, however, at the Cimetière Marin de Saint-Tropez, you’ll get to experience a unique kind of cemetery. From here you’ll have the sea as a beautiful background and contrast to the light-coloured tombstones.

You’ll walk by the film site Brigitte Bardot graced, as well as the resting place of numerous well-known French people.

La Ponche Beach

As you make your way through the old part of town, you’ll head to La Ponche Beach next, to soak up the sun, fresh sea air and incredible view. At the beach, you can rest and relax, while admiring the stunning colourful houses and the surroundings.

Église Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption de Saint-Tropez

In the heart of the town, you’ll see a stunning church named Église Notre-Dame-de-l’Assomption de Saint-Tropez that was built in the 18th century and has a Baroque touch to it. It’s an important religious and cultural site in St-Tropez and is a must-see spot for anyone interested in art, history or architecture.

When you look inside the church, you’ll find that it is equally stunning, with beautiful stained glass windows, the grand altar and a collection of sculptures and paintings dating back to the 16th century. The church has a number of significant relics, including a piece from the veil of the Virgin Mary and of the True Cross.

Before heading back to the harbour, indulge in a delicious treat at one of the most popular and famous cafes in the city – Senequier.

The cafe originally opened in 1887 and it has seen its fair share of celebrities. At the cafe you can enjoy more than just pastries if you’re craving some seafood, you’ll have lobster, wild sea wolf, salmon and lots more to choose from.

Although the cafe may be on the pricier side, you deserve to treat yourself on your one day in St Tropez. The food along with the view is definitely worth it!

If you opt for public transportation or the ferry ride to get to St Tropez, you can also head back to Nice on the ferry and enjoy an incredible sunset to complete your St Tropez day trip from Nice to top off an amazing trip.

Have 2 or 3 Days in St Tropez?

If you have more time and want to spend 2 or 3 days in St Tropez, there are so many activities you can add to your St Tropez itinerary. While you can see most of the popular spots in one day, with more time, you can explore the surrounding areas near the city that are just as breathtaking.

When looking for fun things to do that won’t break the bank, you can rent a chair or take a beach towel to lay on a beautiful beach, whether it’s a nudist one or not, and you can do this for free. Have a picnic on a beach, do some water activities or simply relax with a good book.

Some of the most popular beaches and beach clubs in or near St Tropez include Pampelonne Beach, Tahiti, Salins and La Croix-Valmer. Each beach is unique and nevertheless magnificent.

Gassin is also known for its fine wines, with several vineyards surrounding the village that offer wine tastings and tours. Visitors can sample local wines such as the famous Côtes de Provence and learn about the winemaking process from the experts.

Port Grimaud

As it was only built in 1960, the seaside town of Port Grimaud is relatively new and with its Venetian-inspired canals, bridges and architecture, it’s even nicknamed “The Venice of Provence” and makes for a popular place to visit.

Since the canals are one of the most charming and best ways to explore Port Grimaud, renting a small boat and touring the town on the water is a great way to admire the stunning town.

Hello, can you take the ferry from Nice to get a great view of the port of St Tropez from the water, then take the train back from St Raphael? Would you recommend this to have more time to spend in St Tropez? Or would you not risk missing the train back same night? Traveling 8th October for the regatta Thanks!
