Once upon a time there was a heaven between Provence and Côte d’Azur. Nestled in the heart of an amphitheatre of wooded hills, it sloped gently down through a mosaic of farmland to the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.
The Gulf of Saint-Tropez includes 12 communes located both on the coast and in the Maures Forest: Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer, Cavalaire-sur-Mer, La Croix Valmer, Ramatuelle, Saint-Tropez, Gassin, La Mole, Cogolin, Grimaud, La Garde-Freinet, Le Plan de la Tour and Sainte-Maxime.
