Its weekly market is one of the most famous in the Gulf of Saint Tropez and a brilliant place to pick up local produce and wine for Villa Caniche. The village hosts cultural events, exhibitions, concerts and festivals throughout the year. There is a small open-air theatre where performances are held during the summer. Free shuttle buses take visitors to the most popular of the nearby beaches, the busiest of which are Gigaro and Debarquement. Gigaro is beautiful, natural and home to cicadas in the thousands and a blissful collection of coves, headlands and bays. Super crystal clear waters and fine golden sand make for fantastic beaches, which are served by a wonderful collection of restaurants and bars. Gigaro boasts magnificent sunsets and superb views of the islands, Les Iles d’Or. Gassin is a ‘Plus Beaux Villages de France’ and a destination of culture and walking. Its elevated views extend to the snowy peaks of the Alps as well as the stunning Gulf of Saint Tropez, and from Place des Barri you can enjoy panoramic scenery including the Iles d’Or, Port Cros, Bagaud, Levant and, in the background, Porquerolles. You should look out for the street called l’Androuno, which is claimed to be the narrowest street in the world. The delicious smell of jasmine hangs in the air throughout the village, especially in the garden L’Hardy-Denonain. The new town of Gassin, designed by Francois Spoerry, has been built below the medieval village and was awarded a prize for the best new town in Europe. Saint Tropez is a sizzling jet-set playground, though in low season, the town still enjoys its mesmerising quaint beauty and visitors meander its cobbled lanes in the old fishing quarter of La Ponche, sip pastis in charming cafes, watch old men playing petanque beneath towering plane trees and walk slowly along the coastal paths. As well as beautiful olive groves and rugged coastal hikes, the pretty peninsula is home to exclusive beach clubs, hipster bars and mega yachts. The town is a shopper’s paradise, packed with trendy boutiques. The streets around Rue Gambetta and Rue Allard are sprinkled with shoe shops, chocolate shops, boutiques, antique emporiums and art galleries. If you visit on a Tuesday or Saturday morning, you will be treated to wonderful open-air stalls at Place des Lices where you can stock up on freshly baked bread and delicious local produce. Fine wine is big in Saint Tropez. Chateau Barbeyrolles is one of the best vineyards in the village of Gassin.
