Hike the Sentier du Littoral, the path that follows the coast of St. Tropez, passing some of the most gorgeous beaches in the south of France. The trek will begin on the pine-lined stretch of sand that rims the Bay of Canebiers, a favorite beach because of its serenity. As the terrain changes from sandy to rocky, the guide will point out the varying flora and fauna such as black-headed gulls, one of the most abundant birds in the littoral zone. Other beaches along the way include bamboo-bordered Moutte and alluring Salins. In time, the guide will select the best spot for a beach break, during which you might enjoy a refreshing swim, bask in the sun or simply take in the scenery. Considering how glamourous St. Tropez has become, it is hard to imagine that until Brigette Bardot arrived in 1956 to shoot the film “And God Created Woman,” it was little more than a fishing village.
