Summers are the peak tourist season in Saint-Tropez, even though temperatures during this time average around 27⁰C and can often reach highs of 35⁰C during July and August, which is usually the hottest time of the year. The afternoons are clear and sunny and the entire town is buzzing with activity in this season, which is made even more pleasant with the cool sea breezes. Hoteliers make the most out of the large influx of crowds during summers by hiking up their rates, so expect to pay more in all commercial establishments if planning a trip during this time.
