Môle Jean Réveille
SightseeingHarbour
Directions

Open sea on one side, the harbor on the other, and a long stretch of stone leading straight into the Mediterranean create one of the most photogenic walks in Saint-Tropez. It’s a place where movement slows down, even with the busy port just behind you.

The Môle Jean Réveille, located at the entrance of the Saint-Tropez harbor in the Var, is the town’s historic jetty, originally built in the 15th century and expanded over several centuries. Once known as the Môle du Portalet, it served both as a defensive structure and a guiding point for sailors, with a lighthouse marking the entrance to the port.

Today, the jetty leads to the iconic red lighthouse, offering panoramic views over the bay, the old port, and the surrounding coastline. The contrast between the open sea, the yachts, and the pastel façades of Saint-Tropez makes this one of the best places to take in the full setting of the town.

Walking along the môle gives a different perspective from the busy quays, with a stronger connection to the sea and the maritime history of the village.

👉 Local Tip: Walk all the way to the lighthouse at sunset. The light hits the harbor, the village, and the boats at once, creating one of the most striking views in Saint-Tropez.
