Port sights in Europe

    Muelle Uno

    Across from the Plaza de la Marina, enjoy a stroll under shaded structures with thickets of palms and children’s playgrounds. Opened in November 2011, the commercial end of the new port is a tad soulless and needs some greenery. It it is designed to cater to the increase in cruise passengers to the city, with restaurants, bars and shops.

    Vieux Port

    Yachts line the harbour and chic visitors stroll the quays at the picturesque old port. In front of the sable-coloured town houses, the Bailli de Suffren statue, cast from a 19th-century cannon, peers out to sea. The bailiff (1729–88) was a sailor who fought with a Tropezien crew against Britain and Prussia during the Seven Years War. As much of an institution as the bailiff is portside cafe Sénéquier.

    Duck beneath the archway, next to the tourist office, to uncover St-Tropez’s daily morning fish market, on place aux Herbes.
