St Tropez Surrounds
The area immediately around St Tropez is pretty grim; congested
roads are lined with billboards and neon signs, but the surrounding
hills are almost uninhabited and make for a welcome excursion from
the masses and the mayhem. The best view of this richly green and
flowering countryside is from the hilltop village of Gassin, its
lower neighbour Ramatuelle, or the tiny road between them, the
dramatic route des Moulins de Paillas, where among the vineyards
are three ruined windmills that were once powered by the dreaded
winter mistral. Several vineyards offer wine tasting. Along the
coast there are a number of good walking trails. Maps are available
at the tourist office.
