The Postcard View of Saint-Tropez

The postcard view over Saint-Tropez, the perfect shot

From here, you enjoy an open view to capture the perfect shot of the bay of Saint-Tropez: golden tiles, emblematic bell tower and the blue of the sea and the sky. The Saint-Tropez audio-guided tour stops here to savour this panorama that sums up, on its own, all the charm of the Provençal village by the water.

The emblematic panorama of the village

This viewpoint offers the emblematic image of Saint-Tropez, as found on postcards: the golden-tiled roofs of the old village, the bell tower of Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church and the intense blue of the Mediterranean. It is this harmony of colours and light that, for more than a century, has charmed painters, photographers and travellers from all over the world.

What to see

The highlight is of course the view: an open panorama of the village roofs, the bell tower and the bay. It is the ideal place to take the souvenir photo of Saint-Tropez and take in at a glance the harmony between the village and the sea. The morning or late-day light is particularly beautiful there.
