About this experience
Discovering Saint Tropez with a guide who lives here will allow you to really get to know the village. I grew up in Saint Tropez and discovering my village is a pleasure that I like to share with those who wish to learn more.
We can walk on the port, in the old town and Place des Lices, famous for its market on Saturday and Tuesday mornings, and for its petanque games.
The sweet tasting also allows a beautiful moment of exchange.
Together, installed at the La Tarte Tropézienne pastry shop, we will taste the specialty of the city: the Tarte Tropézienne. A drink of your choice will accompany this tasting.
This visit will teach you the fascinating history of Saint Tropez, and will make you discover its traditions with the Bravade, one of the oldest traditions of Provence.
By booking this tour, you allow a small local business to make a living from its activity. Thank you so much !
