Boat service to St. Tropez
These boats are absolutely superb and offer you "two cities for the price of one". The traffic around the bay can be a challenge so the boat service is really valuable. Departure from Sainte-Maxime is every 15 min. The trip only takes 15 minutes and costs 8-10 euros. Easy to park at the port. Departure from Les Issambres harbour, a 5-min walk from the house, is every hour during summer and takes 30 min.
