After breakfast at La Tarte Tropezienne, we walked up hilly streets to La Citadelle de Saint Tropez…read more- Musee D'Histoire Maritime (Saint Tropez Citadelle, a Maritime History Museum in English). This citadelle is a 17th century Fort overlooking the Mediterranean which has partly been constructed into a maritime museum. Much of the fort has remained intact and the museum is located in one of the small doors inside the fort. It's very extensive and if i recall, 3 Euro's a person so really cheap compared to more famous museums in large cities. It's one of the central attractions in the town so it's a must see if you're visiting St. Tropez for more than a few hours.

Amazing views of the ocean and city! Must see and the museum was interesting. Nicely preserved.read more

Quality/Quantity - At minimum you want to visit the outside of the museum. If not just for the huge…read moreCannes sign; see pictures. Ambiance - The outside was beautiful. Personally, I feel you can skip the museum. See how few pictures there are on Yelp. There are more of the outside rather than the inside. Service - Self service. Price - 6.50 Euros; $7.50 US for the museum. Exterior = Free. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.

The museum is quite small, but well laid out and maintained. Like another review mentioned, the…read moreticket price (€6.50 as of January 2024) is well worth it to climb atop the tower for an amazing 360 panoramic view of Cannes, the city, port, ocean and Alps in the North. Since Cannes is much more devoid of tourists during off-peak season, and also not particularly known for its museums, it was lovely to enjoy the tower and most of the museum by myself on a brisk sunny weekday morning. Most of the exhibits center around ethnographic findings from French explorers in the 19th century, including articles and artifacts from Oceania, Africa, and the Mediterranean. Currently another exhibition towards the back few rooms showcases paintings following Nice through its development from fishing town to bustling port city. Note the tower requires climbing up a rather steep set of stairs to a small (maybe 8x8 foot area) on top which aside from the wall of the tower doesn't have any other railing or enclosure. So not recommended for little children unless they're strapped to you. Aside from stairs there's no other access so a) if you have a mobile disability it will not be accessible, b) the staircase is quite narrow inside and because the steps are wooden planks, you can see between each step, which may make it challenging for those with a fear of heights. Separately since part of the stairs run outside the tower, and the top of the tower is not covered, if there is inclement weather access to the top may be restricted.

Amazing contemporary art gallery in the hills above Hyeres. The drive up is a little sketchy and…read morethe parking as well but it's well worth the trip. Free admission and stunning views, as well as a whole villa to explore with contemporary art inside. We happened to be there for the design parade where different interior designers had imagined the rooms as they might've been and created a story with their design. There's a small café in an outdoor courtyard that serves food and drinks. Lovely way to pass part of the day.

Great way to spend an afternoon, change of pace from bustling Cannes during peak season. Beautiful…read morevistas and garden. No art exhibition when we visited. Tour was in French but I caught enough words to get the gist. Quiet public beaches in this small village. Great restaurant Les Bartavelles across the street serving up really terrific food.
