What do I need to know before moving to Saint-Tropez?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Saint-Tropez, they said:

"Saint-Tropez is a small town on the French Riviera, known for its Mediterranean beaches and nightlife. It's a popular destination for tourists and expats alike, but there are a few things you should know before moving there. Firstly, the cost of living in Saint-Tropez is quite high, especially during the summer months when the town is filled with tourists. Rent, groceries, and dining out can be expensive, so it's important to budget accordingly. The official language in Saint-Tropez is French, so it would be beneficial to learn some basic phrases before moving. While many locals speak English, especially in the tourism industry, day-to-day life will be easier if you can communicate in French. The town is known for its glamorous lifestyle, with many high-end boutiques, restaurants, and nightclubs. However, there are also plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy, such as hiking, sailing, and visiting the local vineyards. Public transportation in Saint-Tropez is limited, so it's recommended to have a car for getting around. However, be aware that traffic can be heavy, especially during the summer months. The healthcare system in France is excellent, and Saint-Tropez is no exception. However, it's important to have health insurance that will cover you in France, as medical costs can be high. Saint-Tropez has a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. It's important to be prepared for the heat in the summer, as temperatures can reach up to 30 degrees Celsius. Finally, while Saint-Tropez is a safe town, it's always important to take precautions. Be aware of your surroundings, especially at night, and keep your belongings secure," replied a member in Saint-Tropez.
