Board your motorcoach and travel south along the Golden Corniche through the seaside villages of La Napoule, Port La Galere, Pointe du Cap Roux, Agay, and St. Raphael. The rock formations along this stretch of the Cote d'Azur display a reddish tint unique to the area. Disembark at Ste. Maxime and board the ferry for the 20-minute ride to St. Tropez.

Once a fortified stronghold and later a sleepy fishing village, St. Tropez rocketed to fame after World War II. It became a favorite resort destination for Parisians - especially the directors of France's cinematic New Wave--Roger Vadim supposedly "discovered" Brigitte Bardot at St. Tropez. In the half-century since, St. Tropez became a favorite destination of the international jet set, while its superb sheltered bay drew yachting enthusiasts. Visitors head for that prized waterfront, where the pink and tan houses of the Vieux Port seem to glow in the sun. Enjoy some free time to explore the View Port, with its luxury yachts, tiny boutiques, galleries, cafes and restaurants. A local restaurant near the Old Port is the setting for lunch accompanied by local wine.

After visiting St. Tropez, continue to the unique seaside resort of Port Grimaud. Beginning in 1962, a coastal wetland was transformed into a waterside village where houses line over four miles of canals. Each house has a waterfront view, a garden and space to moor a boat. Stone and wood bridges span the canals, connecting the port's islets. Cafés, shops and restaurants are scattered through the community, accessible only by foot or small electric launches. Board your own electric launch for a tour through the village waterways.

Following your visit, board your motorcoach for the return trip to Cannes.
