An exceptional setting
The Gulf of Saint-Tropez has not become the reference site for the entire Côte d'Azur by chance - it is home to the region's most beautiful beaches, notably Pampelonne, which continues to dazzle French tourists and the owners of Europe's most beautiful yachts who come to anchor there.
Accessible in a few minutes by car, the hinterland of the Tropez is an important part of the region's charm. You can discover the magnificent Massif de l'Estérel and its ochre rocks, which plunge into the Grande Bleue, and the beautiful Provencal vineyards worthy of a postcard. Finally, the village, between its port and its legendary cafés, its traditional and timeless little squares, is one of the most beautiful in France.
Despite an increase in the number of visitors over the last few years, the village and the region have retained all their charm and continue to make the reputation of France as the most beautiful country in the world throughout the world.
A lively region
Saint-Tropez's reputation gives it a significant advantage over its neighbours - the Gulf has developed a great deal, while respecting its idyllic setting, and offers locals and tourists an exceptionally large number of quality activities.
Beyond the walks in the village and the hinterland, Saint-Tropez offers a very rich sporting environment, thanks to the region's golf courses, in particular that of Sainte-Maxime or Saint-Raphaël, but also to its renowned nautical clubs, where it is possible to go sailing, kitesurfing...
Of course, Saint-Tropez is also famous for its shopping and nightclubs, which attract stars and rich owners from all over the world.
But last but not least, the life of the village is punctuated by numerous events that never let you get bored: the Voiles de Saint-Tropez, in the autumn, brings together all lovers of sails and yachts for two festive weeks, the Saint-Tropez Classic for runners has become an institution. The Grande Braderie for fashion addicts, the thematic exhibitions of the Gendarmerie museum... and many others, in all seasons! From this point of view, Saint-Tropez has no equal on the French Riviera.
An attractive property market
Contrary to what one might think, the property market in Saint-Tropez has remained particularly profitable.
On the one hand on the rental market. As the region is under real estate pressure, rental opportunities are more limited than elsewhere and allow for higher rental rates, especially in the luxury villa market, which includes a range of services (cleaning, gardening, spas, etc.) that offer even more margin to renters.
On the other hand, because the chances of making a significant capital gain are very high in Saint-Tropez, as the market for second homes is booming in France. Supply and demand have diversified with the sale of old houses for the new generations. Thus, luxury properties are less rare and interest many French and European people.
In this high potential context, it is all the more important to be accompanied in order to study high yield opportunities.
