Sainte-Maxime, Coastal commune in French Riviera, France
The Mediterranean town of Sainte-Maxime extends along the northern shore of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, protected by the Massif des Maures mountain range.
In 1000 AD, monks from the Lérins Islands founded Sainte-Maxime, constructing a monastery and establishing the initial settlement near the Mediterranean coast.
The 16th century La Tour Carrée, a defensive tower transformed into a museum, stands as a testament to the architectural heritage of Sainte-Maxime.
The marina provides regular boat connections to neighboring destinations, including Saint-Tropez and Les Issambres, facilitating transportation across the Gulf.
Operation Dragoon in August 1944 positioned Sainte-Maxime as a strategic landing point for Allied forces during the liberation of Southern France.
