Discovering Ramatuelle
Ramatuelle is the opposite of what its reputation suggests, an inland hilltop village of concentric lanes, ringed by Côtes de Provence vines. Yet it is on its territory, not Saint-Tropez’s, that the four and a half kilometres of Pampelonne sand unfold.
The commune runs from the village down to the sea through the vineyards, then out to Cap Camarat, whose lighthouse is one of the highest in France. The coastal path rounds it from Pampelonne to L’Escalet, along a shore of rock and coves with nothing built on it.

Where to stay in Ramatuelle
The village
Perched, in concentric lanes, with its open-air theatre and the cemetery where Gérard Philipe is buried.
Pampelonne
The peninsula’s great beach, on Ramatuelle land, served by a single road down from the village.
Cap Camarat
The rocky point and its lighthouse, between Pampelonne and L’Escalet. The wildest stretch of the coastal path.
L’Escalet and Bonne Terrasse
The southern coves, more confidential than Pampelonne, reached along narrow lanes.
The vineyards
The plateau between village and sea, planted with Côtes de Provence, where the estates can be visited all year.
When to visit Ramatuelle
April - June
The coastal path and the vines are at their best, and the beach road still moves normally.
July - August
The absolute peak of the peninsula. The beach road becomes the bottleneck of the day and the clubs work on reservation.
September
The sea is at its warmest, the harvest begins and visitor numbers drop away sharply after mid-month.
October - March
The beach clubs are dismantled and Pampelonne becomes bare sand again. The village keeps its shops and its market.

The year in brief
August
The Ramatuelle festival
Theatre and music at the village’s open-air theatre, outdoors, since the mid-1980s.
September
The harvest
The peninsula’s estates bring in the crop. This is when the farming landscape takes over again.
All year
The coastal path
From Pampelonne round Cap Camarat to L’Escalet, the wildest section of the peninsula, entirely undeveloped.
Good to know
The Pampelonne beach clubs are demountable, and they are taken down out of season. The beach changes character completely between October and Easter.
One narrow road serves the beaches. In August the village-to-Pampelonne run can take three times what it takes in April.
Ramatuelle and Saint-Tropez are not the same commune, and booking "at Pampelonne" means being in Ramatuelle, a quarter of an hour from the Saint-Tropez harbour.
