to & from
From San Francisco, fly to Paris (AIR FRANCE) and stay a few nights in the city of lights before heading south. Then fly from Orly direct to Nice. Once you are in the Cote D’azur, easiest way to get to St. Tropez is by helicopter. The most beautiful ride over the shoreline right to the beach if your timing is right (I think they prohibit flying mid-day because of noise in the daytime).
Where to Stay
My gracious host rents an apartment near the port. Great walking location to all of the excitement of town. The beach clubs are a good 15 minutes drive south so it’s nice to have a car rented.
