La Croix-Valmer is a small town located in the hills above the coast, just to the west of Saint Tropez, to the side of the Maures mountains between Cavalaire-sur-Mer and Ramatuelle. Known for its vineyards the village has also remarkable natural heritage, a great asset for tourism.

There are some lovely sea views to be had from the town. Villas surround the area, creating a semi-urban feel amongst the vineyards, and they continue down to the coast by the beaches.

The town has some lovely Belle Époque villas and plenty of pavement cafés. Whilst there's not a tremendous amount to see when it comes to history and heritage the old town is dominated by an imposing 14th century clock tower, all that remains of a castle.

This is a lovely place to be based, you can enjoy swimming, walking and the crystal clear seas and pine-edged coves. There are free shuttle buses to take you from the town to and from the beaches, it's a fairly steep walk otherwise.

The area has 220 hectares of protected natural heritage and offers beautiful walks in the woods and along the coast. Despite the tourist influx in the summer months, La Croix-Valmer still has a traditional feel.

With seven natural sandy beaches and 6km of coastline, this village is known for the quality of its bathing waters. Gigaro beach has the most success.
