Sainte-Maxime

Sainte-Maxime occupies the northern shore of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez on France’s Mediterranean coast in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur. Set beneath the wooded Maures Massif, the town faces the Saint-Tropez peninsula across a broad bay and has long been shaped by the sea: its marina, waterfront and sandy beaches are central to local life. In the old centre, the Tour Carrée, a square defensive tower dating from the 16th century, recalls an era when coastal communities guarded against raids. Sainte-Maxime also lies on the Mimosa Road, a winter flowering route through the Massif des Maures.
