This glamorous summer resort town on France’s Côte d’Azur is surprisingly lovely in December. While T+L A-list advisor Philip Haslett points out that many hotels and restaurants are closed for the season, he says, “On the plus side, there are no crowds, so people can discover Saint-Tropez in much the same way artist Paul Signac did in 1892 — a small, quiet, and particularly picturesque fishing village.” According to Haslett, “The weather in December is often fine, with cold mornings quickly warmed by the Mediterranean sun. There are stunning coastal walks and great hiking routes with unique discoveries to be made. One of the most extraordinary is La Chartreuse de la Verne, a 12th-century monastery that reveals itself in the dense forests.”

Where to Stay: The boutique Arev Saint Tropez, opened in 2024, features a spa and Mediterranean restaurant. Five-star Hotel La Ponche offers a spa and bay views.
