The road to theMaures massif
On the shores of the Mediterranean, the emerald-colored vegetation of the Massif des Maures contrasts with the deep blue of the sea. This verdant massif is criss-crossed by the Corniche des Maures, a tourist route that takes in the most beautiful nooks and crannies of the massif to the west of Saint-Tropez. This beautiful circuit , which penetrates the Maures massif, is rugged and takes you along sometimes deserted roads over 7 passes.
Year-round entertainment and activities
Sainte-Maxime isn’t just attractive in summer. Throughout the year, the town offers a multitude of events and activities to entertain young and old alike.
In summer, music festivals and fireworks illuminate the nights, while winter sees the arrival of Christmas markets and ephemeral ice rinks. And let’s not forget the cultural events (theater, cinema evenings at the media library, exhibitions, literary encounters, etc.), musical events (concerts), sporting events (trails, international sailing regattas, rallies, etc.), workshops, shows of all kinds and more.
Finally, golf enthusiasts will also appreciate the lush green courses offering breathtaking sea views. Not forgetting, of course, the Barrière Sainte-Maxime casino, ideally located with spectacular views over the Bay of Saint-Tropez!
