La Croix Valmer (3800 inhabitants, 22km2)

The village of La Croix Valmer is a relatively young village that remains elegant and discreet even although close to the bustle of Saint Tropez. The musical events at the Anches d’Azur Festival d’Harmonies and Nocturnes Croisiennes punctuate summer evenings. Every Sunday morning the village center boasts a Provencal market year round. The village is oriented south on a soft slope protected from winds, facing the sea and the wonderful Iles d’Or in the background. The vineyards are famous for their AOC wines, especially their rosé. Several domains are located amidst the rolling hills. You can stroll along La Bastide Blanche or Le Domaine de La Croix as examples.
