Tardieu Immobilier was born in Saint-Tropez and never left. Nearly sixty years in the same village is not something a market study replaces: it shows up as knowing which house is about to come free before it is advertised, and why one street is worth more than the next.
We cover the ten villages of the gulf, from La Ponche to the hills of La Garde-Freinet. Seaside villas, village houses, mas among the vines, off-market sales: our selection is deliberately narrow and handled directly.

The market, transaction by transaction
These medians are computed directly from the deeds of sale published by the French tax authority, not from algorithmic estimates. The rise has been continuous over five years — and it is happening on a falling number of transactions, the signature of a scarcity market.

|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 18 730 € | 8 837 € |
| 2022 | 20 503 € | 9 508 € |

Demandes de valeurs foncières (DVF), DGFiP — calcul Tardieu2021–2025
Median price per built m², single-type sales, outliers excluded. DVF does not capture share transfers in property-holding companies, which are common at the top of this market, so these medians probably understate prime pricing. Median 2025 sale price: €4.90M for a house, €545,000 for an apartment.
3,582 residents, 17.7 million visitors
Close to five thousand visits for every resident. The village counts 3,582 permanent residents at the 2023 census, down almost 20% since 2012, while the commune recorded 17.7 million visitors in 2024 alone — a measure of footfall rather than unique visitors. Between the two sits a housing stock more than two thirds of which is lived in only part of the year. That is where the market's scarcity comes from, and why a well-placed village house never stays available for long.

The season, in figures
Visitor numbers are not spread evenly across the year, and that bears directly on rental yields as much as on village life out of season.
Published by the municipality without a stated methodology. This is most likely visitor-days measured from mobile-network data rather than unique visitors.

The port
The old port remains the village's centre of gravity: it takes vessels under fifty metres, the Estienne d'Orves mole up to seventy-five. Proximity to a berth genuinely bears on the value of an address.
What you can actually build
Any change to the appearance of the place requires prior authorisation, after the opinion of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France — an extension, a pool, often a simple façade.
- Protected site
- Order of 15 February 1966, supplemented 12 January 1967
- Loi Littoral
- 3 January 1986 — no construction within one hundred metres of the shore, outside already-urbanised areas
- Remarkable natural areas
- La Moutte and Les Salins beaches, and the Salins green break
This is the constraint overseas buyers most consistently underestimate, and the reason we have buildability checked before an offer goes in, never after.

Pampelonne and its beaches
Pampelonne beach, in the neighbouring commune of Ramatuelle, is governed by a development plan that reduced the occupiable share of the shoreline and required demountable structures.
- Development plan
- Decree no. 2015-1675 of 15 December 2015
- Beach establishments
- Cut from twenty-seven to twenty-three when the concessions were awarded
- Structures
- Demountable, removed each winter to return the sand to the dune system
For a buyer this matters twice over: organised scarcity sustains the value of properties set back from the beach, and the dismantling calendar explains the striking contrast between Pampelonne in August and Pampelonne in January.
Getting here
Toulon-Hyères airport is 49 km away, Nice Côte d'Azur 91 km, and the Saint-Tropez–La Môle aerodrome 15 km. By rail, the stations at Toulon, Les Arcs-sur-Argens and Saint-Raphaël serve the gulf.
Helicopters connect Nice and Toulon airports to the Grimaud heliport. By sea, the Bateaux Verts shuttles reach Sainte-Maxime, Port-Grimaud and Les Issambres — often the fastest way in during August, when the coast road is saturated.
The gulf, village by village
Ten villages, ten distinct markets. Our pages set out what each actually offers, rather than reducing everything to the name Saint-Tropez.
The off-market side
The finest properties in the gulf often change hands without ever being published. At their owners' request, part of our portfolio stays offline. If your search is precise, let's talk.
Selling with discretion
A written, reasoned valuation, carried out in person. Selective marketing — or none, if you prefer. One qualified buyer beats a high volume of viewings.
Frequently asked questions
What is the price per m² in Saint-Tropez?
In 2025 the median stands at €25,904 per m² for a house and €12,413 for an apartment, computed from the deeds of sale published by the French tax authority (DVF). House prices have risen roughly 38% since 2021. These medians probably understate the prime market, as company share transfers are not counted.
How many people live in Saint-Tropez?
3,582 permanent residents at the 2023 census (INSEE), down 19.5% since 2012. The commune has 6,902 dwellings, 68.3% of them second homes.
Can you build or extend freely in Saint-Tropez?
No. The entire peninsula has been a protected site since 1966: any change to the appearance of the place requires prior authorisation and the opinion of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France. The Loi Littoral separately prohibits building within one hundred metres of the shoreline outside urbanised areas.
Is the Saint-Tropez market still active?
Prices are rising while volumes fall: 286 sales in 2025 against 436 in 2022, a 34% decline, while the median price per m² kept climbing. This is a scarcity market, where the number of genuinely available properties matters more than the transaction rate.
How many berths does the port of Saint-Tropez have?
729 berths across two basins covering nine hectares, according to the port itself. The old port takes vessels under 50 metres, the Estienne d'Orves mole up to 75 metres.
