Without doubt those choosing cheap car hire in St Tropez give themselves the best chance of exploring this delightful southeast region of France in comfort. Although the town itself is simple and pleasant to wander around, there is so much to see in the surrounds that it is a much better idea to indulge in some form of four-wheeled transport.

The seafront is an area crowded with niche shops and charming cafés that are lovely to visit with car hire in St Tropez. And many interesting not to mention extremely quaint studios, homes and grand historical buildings are just a couple of blocks away from the coast that provide a little respite from the midday heat if you want to meander around in the shade for a short time.

Although the famous faces have long since left St Tropez behind and moved on to Monte Carlos and more exclusive Mediterranean islands, there are still many visitors that come to this town for their regular holiday. The bay still has deep blue water and numerous millionaire yachts fill the harbour here. And car rental in St Tropez makes exploring this harbour region painless, as it can be a little tiring to walk around especially during the summertime.

Behind the cafés of the waterfront area can be found grand buildings around every corner in small streets of the village. Bargains can be a little hard to find for those visitors to the region intent on taking some souvenirs home. You can some a little money by going directly to the source rather than shopping in the expensive boutiques in the tourist zones that cater especially for travellers.

The Office de Tourisme of the town is found right in the middle of the main avenue and features multilingual staff who are an utter wealth of information. There are great maps available for tourists here. A must-see site is the Place aux Herbes that has for hundreds of years been a centre of St Tropez activity.
