Immobilier Sainte Maxime: Villas for Sale & Rental
Situated on the shores of the Golfe de Saint Tropez, Sainte Maxime enjoys the same balmy climate as its glamorous neighbour, Saint Tropez. Despite the fact that it is somewhat quieter than many of its neighbouring resorts, it has nevertheless managed to establish itself as one of the French Riviera’s principal tourist destinations and as such St Maxime property has become an extremely popular commodity.
Ste Maxime is largely defined by the palm lined promenade which sweeps its coastline and gives access to several attractive beaches including La Nartelles and La Plage des Eléphants, which acted as the setting for ‘La Voyage de Babar’, the famous children’s book written by Jean de Brunhoff during his stay in the resort.
The streets that lie behind the promenade are less well known, but those who take the time to explore them will be well rewarded as they make their way through a maze of cobble stoned squares and alleyways that house a wonderful variety of intimate cafés, sumptuous restaurants and a range of chic designer stores and boutiques.
During the summer Saint Maxime plays host to a large number of festivals, many of which involve fireworks and public concerts. The town is also well known for its bustling open-air markets, which offer the best of local produce, including the finest Provençal foods and wines as well as a vast array of locally produced arts and crafts.
Sainte Maxime is well positioned in terms of transport and is situated within twenty minutes of the region’s principal motorway, La Route de Soleil. For those interested in purchasing property in the area it provides a great alternative to St Tropez.
