When to visit
Saint-Tropez is delightful to visit between April and November, offering great weather and an array of family-friendly activities. For beach holidays and warm swimming waters, consider travelling between June and September. Keep in mind that these months are also the most crowded and expensive – so booking well in advance is highly recommended. If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, consider visiting in November when the tourist numbers decrease, and hotel prices are more budget-friendly. Alternatively, spring and autumn (April-May and September-October) are excellent times to visit Saint-Tropez, boasting pleasant weather and fewer crowds. As always, try to plan your holiday around your children's school breaks to avoid any potential issues with term-time holidays.
