Best practices for preserving our resources
Preserving Saint-Tropez, together
The municipality of Saint-Tropez is committed to an eco-responsible approach to preserve its natural heritage, its coastline, and the quality of life of its residents and visitors alike.
Respect for our region
We are committed to practicing selective sorting on a daily basis. For tourist documents such as city maps, a dedicated bin is available for visitors: if you have finished your stay and your map is in good condition, you can deposit it in the bin so that it can be reused or recycled. This is a simple and practical way to contribute to the preservation of our region.
Anti-litter collection bins are installed in sensitive coastal and aquatic areas to limit contamination of natural marine and terrestrial spaces.
How we manage our resources
Water is a precious resource in our region: the maintenance of our spaces and the enjoyment of our summer seasons all depend on responsible management.
The water and sanitation department works to optimize usage, while the city activates drought alert systems to raise awareness among all stakeholders.
Our streets are lit up… sustainably!
In order to reduce energy consumption and improve the quality of public spaces, Saint-Tropez is modernizing its lighting. Old light fixtures are being replaced with more efficient and better controlled LEDs.

Mobility that cares for the planet
To support the transition to more environmentally friendly travel, the municipality is installing charging stations for electric vehicles. This initiative helps to reduce CO₂ emissions and encourages everyone to opt for greener mobility. |
Our best practices for a sustainable region
Protect our sea and coastline
- Use the facilities provided for disposing of waste: no waste should end up in the sea.
- Avoid polluting sunscreens: choose mineral filters or eco-labeled products.
- Respect anchorage areas and Posidonia seagrass beds, which are essential to marine life.
- Preserve the beauty of the coastline by leaving sand, shells, and marine life in their natural environment.
Preserving nature and biodiversity
- Enjoy the beauty of the flora and observe the fauna discreetly to protect the nature around us.
- Help keep sites clean by picking up your trash.
Save water, our fragile resource
- Limit the length of showers and avoid wasting water from the tap.
- Reuse water whenever possible (watering, rinsing, etc.).
Reduce our waste and promote the circular economy
- Support local businesses and producers in the area.
Adopting sustainable mobility
- Choose walking, cycling, ferry services, or public transportation to limit your carbon footprint.
Why these best practices?
- Saint-Tropez is a fragile area. The coastline, wetlands, and natural landscapes must be preserved to ensure their beauty and sustainability.
- Because every action counts: as a visitor or resident, you can help to reduce waste, save water, promote energy-efficient lighting and sustainable travel.
- Because the welcome we want to offer goes hand in hand with respect for the environment: a cleaner, healthier, more sustainable place is a place where everyone feels good.
