The helipad
Getting there
Grimaud heliport serves Saint-Tropez and the whole gulf. It exists because the peninsula has no commercial airport and a single road connects it to the rest of the coast: in summer that road is the French Riviera's main bottleneck.
When to go
A short, intense season from June to September. It is at the height of summer, when the gulf road saturates, that the air transfer genuinely changes the day.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Why is the gap with the road so large to Saint-Tropez?
The peninsula is served by a single road that saturates in summer. A journey quoted at 1 h 30 off-season can take three hours on an August Saturday, while the flight stays at 22 minutes from Nice whatever the traffic.
Is the heliport in Saint-Tropez itself?
No, it is at Grimaud, across the gulf. The transfer to Saint-Tropez is then by road and takes around fifteen minutes outside peak congestion.
Can we land on a yacht?
Some yachts have a certified helideck. Landing there requires the vessel's authorisation and an aircraft and crew qualified for that operation.
