Gassin, in the Var department, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, is a hilltop village overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, surrounded by vineyards classed as Côtes de Provence. Seven camping establishments are listed in the town, benefiting from both sea access and rivers running down towards the gulf.
People camp here for Gassin's prime location, halfway between the beaches of Pampelonne and the vine-covered heights of the Saint-Tropez peninsula. It's a destination that appeals to those who want to enjoy the Var coastline while staying close to a Provençal village spared from the bustle of the seaside.
Gassin thus makes it possible to combine a well-known beach with a more rural setting, between vineyards and the hills of the peninsula. It's a quieter way to approach the Saint-Tropez peninsula, away from the bustle of the harbour in peak season, while staying just minutes by car from the beach.
The hilltop village of Gassin, classed among the most beautiful villages in France, offers from its Place des Barrys a panorama stretching from the Gulf of Saint-Tropez to the Îles d'Hyères on clear days. Its narrow lanes and stone houses bear witness to a defensive origin, the village having long kept watch for incursions from the sea.
Gassin's vineyards, known under the Côtes de Provence appellation, cover the hills that separate the village from Pampelonne beach, one of the best known on the Saint-Tropez peninsula. A few kilometres away, Saint-Tropez and its harbour, or the neighbouring village of Ramatuelle, round out a discovery blending vineyards, Provençal heritage and the Côte d'Azur coastline.
The restored windmills dotted along the heights of the peninsula are a final reminder of this area's former farming vocation, now turned towards tourism. The cellars of the Gassin vineyards, open for tastings, round out a visit blending heritage, scenery and Provençal food.
