Arriving — The nearest rail station is in St-Raphaël, a neighboring coastal resort . Boats depart (www.bateauxsaintraphael.com; tel. 04-94-95-17-46) from its Vieux Port for St-Tropez (trip time: 1 hr.) five times a day in high summer, reducing to once- or twice-daily sailings in winter. The one-way fare is 20€. Year-round, 10 to 15 Varlib buses per day leave from the Gare Routière in St-Raphaël (www.maregionsud.fr; tel. 04-94-44-52-70) for St-Tropez. The trip takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on the bus and the traffic, which during midsummer is usually horrendous. A one-way ticket is 2.10€. Buses also run from Toulon train station, 56km (35 miles) away.
