Saint-Tropez local buses

Once on the bus you will need to use the red button to request the correct stop. This will alert the driver and light up a red sign above him that says 'Arret demande'. If no one pushes the button and there are no passengers waiting at that particular stop then bus will not stop.

Note that these timetables may vary throughout the year and during holidays so please contact the bus companies in advance to avoid disappointment.

Small luggage is accepted aboard of the buses although suitcases, strollers and food trolleys must be placed in the baggage hold. Bicycles are prohibited during the busy summer months from July to August.

Pets & animals
