Saint Maxime
Nestled along the sun-drenched shores of the Côte d’Azur lies the gem of a town known as Sainte-Maxime. An elegant seaside resort town, Sainte-Maxime is home to an exquisite mix of natural landscapes, modern architecture with touches of Provençal style and Art Deco, and that undeniable Mediterranean allure. Surrounded by pristine beaches like La Nartelle, La Croisette, and the historically significant Plage des Éléphants, which inspired Jean de Brunhoff’s “Babar” series, the town came to be after WWI when architects like Rene Dards and Henri Bret commissioned villas. The town’s rich history is evident in landmarks like La Tour Carrée, a 16th-century defensive tower now serving as a museum. Cultural experiences are plentiful, with bustling markets offering local crafts and Provençal delicacies, while the vibrant nightlife features an array of restaurants and bars. Beyond the town and coastline, surrounded by crystal clear waters, Sainte-Maxime is enveloped by the verdant Massif des Maures, providing scenic trails for hiking and mountain biking. Strategically situated opposite Saint-Tropez, Sainte-Maxime serves as an ideal starting point for an extensive yacht charter along the French Riviera.
