Nice airport to Saint-Tropez by car

The journey from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport to Saint-Tropez covers approximately 105 km and takes between 1h30 and 2h30, depending on traffic conditions.

The fastest route is via the A8 highway towards Toulon/Aix-en-Provence, exiting at Le Muy (exit 36). This section of the highway is tolled, costing around €7 to €9, depending on the vehicle category. From there, the D25 leads to Sainte-Maxime, where you continue on the D559 to reach Saint-Tropez.

During peak season, traffic congestion is common, especially between Sainte-Maxime and Saint-Tropez. To avoid delays, you can take the D48 via the Col de Gratteloup, a scenic and quieter alternative. This drive also offers stunning landscapes. A stop in Sainte-Maxime provides a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, while a detour through Gassin, one of France’s most beautiful hilltop villages, offers an exceptional panorama.

For a smoother journey, it is best to travel early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid peak traffic.

Our travel tips !

Save time and money by exiting the highway at Exit 38 (Capitou-Fréjus toll). Few people know this, but it allows you to enjoy the scenic Provençal roads and admire the stunning landscapes of southern France. Along the way, many local farmers sell fresh, organic produce by the roadside, perfect for a quick stop. From Fréjus, you can also take the breathtaking coastal road, lined with palm trees, beaches, and cliffs. This route is far less crowded than the main itinerary, offering a more peaceful and picturesque drive to your destination !
