You will receive the vehicle that best fits the number of travelers in your group, ranging from a sedan to a van for groups of up to 7. Depending where you travel, you can book anything from a sedan comparable to a Toyota Corolla to a Mercedes V-Class to a Classic Cuban Car. While the exact model may vary, we always ensure that the vehicle provided meets your needs in terms of safety, reliability, and comfort. You may be upgraded to a larger vehicle class free of charge depending on availability. Since our largest vehicle seats 7, for groups larger a combination of vehicles will be used. We will send you the exact vehicle details a few days before your trip.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Ramatuelle is about 10 kilometers (6 miles) from Saint-Tropez, though summer traffic on the peninsula can make the drive longer than expected. The charming hilltop village of Gassin is just a few minutes away and equally beautiful. Port Grimaud, a colorful waterfront village built in the style of a traditional Provencal fishing port, is also within easy reach and makes a rewarding half-day visit.
The village center is small and can be explored in around 30 minutes on foot, but Ramatuelle's narrow, uneven stone lanes and hilly layout make it genuinely difficult to navigate with a stroller or wheelchair. The surrounding area, including the beaches and vineyards, requires a car. Parking is available near the village entrance, with the old town a short walk from the lots.
A service charge is typically included in restaurant bills in France, so tipping is not required. Rounding up the total or leaving a small amount of 5 to 10 percent for genuinely attentive service at a restaurant is a nice gesture. At a cafe, leaving the small change or rounding up is common and perfectly polite.
Wandering the village's spiral lanes and discovering hidden squares is the heart of any visit. The restored Moulin de Paillas windmill offers panoramic views over the peninsula. Pampelonne Beach, one of the French Riviera's most famous stretches of sand, is just a short drive from the village. The nearby beaches of L'Escalet and Cap Taillat offer quieter, wilder alternatives for those seeking a more peaceful swim.
France uses the euro (EUR). Cards are accepted almost everywhere in France, including most restaurants, hotels, and shops. In Ramatuelle and smaller nearby villages, some markets, smaller cafes, and street vendors may prefer cash. It's always useful to carry a small amount of euros for convenience.
French is the official language. In the Saint-Tropez area and along the French Riviera, English is fairly widely spoken in hotels, restaurants, and shops that regularly welcome international visitors. Starting any interaction with a simple "Bonjour" is both courteous and appreciated, even if you switch to English shortly after.
Ramatuelle's restaurant scene leans toward classic Provencal cuisine. Look for dishes like socca (a thin chickpea pancake), ratatouille, fresh grilled fish, and the area's famous rosé wines from local vineyards. The weekly village market, held on Thursdays and Sundays at Place de l'Ormeau, is the best spot to pick up regional cheeses, olives, herbs, and Provencal specialties.
Late spring (May to June) and early September are the best times to visit. The weather is warm, the lavender and vines are in bloom, and the village retains a relaxed feel before or after the intense high season. July and August bring the height of summer crowds and very warm temperatures, with traffic on the roads to Pampelonne beach that can be significant. The village's summer festivals, including the Festival de Ramatuelle also make a summer visit worthwhile for culture lovers.
