The Golfe's notable places
Beach clubs, hotels, estates and gated domains: the access, drop-off and return details that make the difference at each address, with a chauffeur who already knows the way.
Getting to Club 55
The Pampelonne institution, at the north end of the beach. An access you find easily, and parking you do not.
Getting to Nikki Beach
In the middle of Pampelonne, over a kilometre from Club 55. A place where the return needs as much planning as the arrival.
Getting to Hôtel Byblos
In the heart of the village, on Avenue Paul Signac. An address easy to find and awkward to approach in August.
Getting to Château de la Messardière
Up on the heights, on Route de Tahiti. A commanding position that involves a climb, and makes walking impractical.
Getting to Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez
The most closed private estate on the peninsula. Here, access is arranged before you arrive, not at the barrier.
Getting to Château Minuty
The best-known wine estate in the Golfe, above Gassin. A visit where a driver is not a luxury but common sense.
