Hi there, and welcome to Saint-Tropez! I grew up in Saint-Tropez, went to school here, and have always felt deeply connected to this little village. Today, my own children are attending the same school I did. Saint-Tropez is still a small village at heart, where people know each other, traditions are alive, and local life matters. I love sharing that authentic side of Saint-Tropez with my guests — far beyond the glamour and the famous yachts. I take part in the traditions of my village and enjoy supporting the small shops, artisans, restaurants and local businesses that make Saint-Tropez unique. After studying tourism, I discovered my passion for guiding. I later returned to university in my 30s to study Art History and deepen my knowledge of the places and artists I love. I also worked as a guide in the Loire Valley while I was a student. I have now been guiding in Saint-Tropez for more than 20 years. Today, through my own small business, I create personalized experiences to help visitors discover the village through the eyes of a local. Saint-Tropez may be famous around the world, but there is so much more to discover: the centuries-old Bravade traditions, the village's fascinating history and former independence, the painters who were inspired by its extraordinary light, and of course its delicious local specialties — from Tarte Tropézienne and nougat to Provençal rosé and fresh seafood. I offer a variety of experiences, from food and art tours to family adventures, village discoveries, picnics and excursions around the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. Every day is different, and every guest is different. Choose one of my tours or tell me what you are looking for, and I will be happy to create an experience around your interests. I look forward to welcoming you to my Saint-Tropez! À bientôt, Frédérique Qualifications • BTS Tourism • Bachelor's Degree in Art History (Licence) • Licensed Tour Guide As a licensed guide, I can guide you inside historical monuments and museums. Please note: I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your own vehicle, or I can arrange a separate vehicle and professional driver for your tour.

Discover the real village of Saint Tropez in a walking tour
Overview of your Saint Tropez tour
Forget about the luxury place and discover the beauty of the village. Let me show you the provençal village, the places of the locals, the fishermen harbor, the beauty of the light on the façades of the houses which attracted so many painters. From the Antique Heraclea to Sant Torpes, from the renewal of Saint Tropez to the Roaring Twenties, you will understand how this small fishermen harbor is now one of the most famous village in the world. Enjoy a nice and easy walk to learn more about the history and take beautiful pictures. If you wish to visit one of the museums, you will have the choice between the painting museum l'Annonciade, in a former chapel, or the Citadelle museum with explanations of the maritime history of Saint Tropez and an amazing view from the fortress. We will also enjoy a nice moment of sharing a tropezienne tart and a glass of wine or soft drink This tour can be customized if you wish to go to Port Grimaud or Ramatuelle during your day trip

Frédérique is passionate about her home and roots, and wishes to share it all with visitors. We loved learning the origins and history of Saint Tropez, strolling the town and visiting over tapas, wine, and of course their Tarte Tropezienne. Thank you for an enjoyable tour, a highlight of our cruise!

We had a wonderful time exploring St. Tropez with Frederique! My mom and I enjoyed a seven (7) hour private tour which was a good mix of history, art & culture, food, and drink. Frederique is clearly a local with lots of knowledge about the town, area, and history. The tour flew by with great conversation. Thank you again Frederique for showing us around!
