Sainte Maxime Secteur Croisette Proche Des Plages Avec Fort

Sainte-Maxime occupies the northern shore of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, directly across the water from its more famous neighbour. The town has long attracted a discerning residential clientele who value the same exceptional setting and climate as Saint-Tropez but prefer a quieter, more year-round community. Its seafront promenade, pine-backed hills, and consistent Provençal character give it a coherent identity that has remained largely intact despite the prestige of the surrounding coastline.

The town centre offers a covered market on Place du Marché, a working fishing port, and a concentration of restaurants along the waterfront including Le Dauphin and La Maison Bleue. The Croisette district sits within easy reach of the main sandy beaches. Saint-Tropez is accessible by ferry in approximately 15 minutes.

Sainte-Maxime is served by the RN98 coastal road connecting to Fréjus and the A8 motorway, placing Cannes roughly 60 kilometres west and Nice approximately 90 kilometres away. Nice Côte d’Azur International Airport is the primary hub, reachable in around 75 to 90 minutes by car depending on traffic. The nearest train station is at Saint-Raphaël, approximately 25 kilometres west, with direct TGV services to Paris in under five hours.
