    We almost didn't make the climb. To be honest, we were in search of a restroom. The museum was all we could find at the time. SO GLAD WE DID THIS. The museum is excellent. It offers a complete history of the area and how the structure came to be. It also houses many interesting maritime artifacts and sailing ship-building exhibits. The structure is beautifully preserved and has complete access for visitors. The views from the Citadel are extraordinary. Across the bay, you can see the distant Alps. And the town of Saint-Tropez lays out below you. There's an unencumbered 360º view of the area that's just breathtaking. And . . . there are restrooms

    I postponed the visit to this place till last minute, and I regret doing so. The fortress is amazing, full of old stuff, amazing stories, good views... And it’s only €3 per person. Do go and enjoy this place, it’s really cool. P.S. it’s also nice to cool down there a bit during noon when it gets too hot in st trop. Oh and say hi to the kitty!

    Solid castle/museum. It’s only $4 euro a person to go in. Nice views. Could visit or not, wouldn’t make it break the experience or trip to St. Tropez. Nice history tho!

    Fortress-turned-museum, showcasing nautical exhibits, Saint-Tropez’s maritime history and famous figures. It also offered beautiful views of the bay.

    Beautiful views from Citadel. We didn't have time for the exhibits, but the views are worth the price of admission.

    You probably heard about the posh french city. It's very nice. Filled with expensive cars, expensive boats and people. Im planning my next heist to take place here *bass jazz music start playing*

    Really recommend going here. The views you get are already worth 4 euro you pay. The museum is also nice. Gives you an insight about the history from long ago to more recent events in the area. I do feel like they are trying to cover a lot of topics, which makes it all a bit of an inconsistent story to follow as you walk around. But that could also be because the signs are both French and English but the most of the sound clips are not.

    A must see in st tropez, one of the best naval museum I have seen. Very well done and thorough. Only 4 euros.

    Great place, easy to access if you can walk well, much detail was put into the exhibition. Many fun facts to the site. You can make great photos from there.

    This is a hidden gem that is well worth walking up the lanes and steps to. Inside the castle is a labyrinth of rooms which are really interesting and informative. You can see a lot of time effort and money has been put into this place. Absolutely recommend.

    Für den Eintritt von 4€ bekommt man viel geboten. Ein nettes Schiffsfahrtmuseum und einen schönen Ausblick auf die Altstadt. Dazu war auch noch eine Kunstausstellung rund um die Zitadelle. Toll waren auch die beiden freilaufenden Pfauen.

    Fascinating history Great views of Saint Tropez The maritime museum was very educational.

  • 5/5 Jessica B. 11 months ago on Google
    Ein Besuch ist sehr zu empfehlen!! Allein die Aussicht auf Saint Tropez und auch die umliegende Umgebung ist einen Besuch wert. Aber auch das kleine Schifffahrtmuseum ist sehenswert. Alles sehr liebevoll gestaltet und interessant. Mit 4,00 Euro Eintritt, absolut nicht überteuert.

    Wunderschöner Blick auf St. Tropez und das Meer. Bei meinem Besuch war dort eine Ausstellung eines Künstlers, welche tolle Skulpturen aushing....

    Sehr schöner Ort in Saint-Tropez .Toller Ausblick auf die Bucht und die Expo ist auch kurzweilig .Angefangen von der frühen Geschichte Saint-Tropez bis nur Neuzeit aus Maritimer Sicht.

  • 5/5 Klaudia T. 8 months ago on Google
    Interessanter Ort mit herrlicher Aussicht auf die gesamte Bucht und Saint Tropez von unten. Ansonsten ist das Museum informativ über die Geschichte der Schifffahrt in Saint Tropez.

    It's definitely worth the walk up to the top. Entry was only €4. Fabulous view of the bay, plus a museum with details of the nautical history of the area to the present day power boating. Art installation around the place of cool sculptures too. WC and water available.

    Eigentlich wollte ich nicht hier hoch, da ich mir gedacht haben, schöne Ausblicke habe ich schon genug gesehen, aber jetzt bin ich froh, dass ich da war. Es lohnt sich. Das heißt, neben der schönen Aussicht und einem Brunnen im Hofinneren, was für Groß und Klein ein Highlight ist, bietet das Museum so viel interessantes. Hier kann man sich stundenlang drin aufhalten.

    The view is great, but the castle is not that interesting.

  • 5/5 Boyan A. 1 year ago on Google
    Below the citadel are among the most impressive panoramic views.

  • 5/5 Kevin W. 4 years ago on Google
    Good place to visit get the history of St Tropez before it became a playboy town in 60s. Very interesting museum we'll docentrd and only €3 per adult. Amazing views of the bay too.

    A very beautiful historical place with a great view from above... museum is also informative & interesting .

  • 5/5 Богдан �. 1 year ago on Google
    An interesting place, the Territory of the Citadel is a slightly neglected and incomprehensible solution with new sculptures. Museum is small, but beautiful, interesting halls and exposures

  • 5/5 Ly V. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice place to visit, conveniently located and wonderful view to the town below. Try to get there early in the morning, to get the free parking, which is filling up really quick. From there, you can walk up to the museum, and also walk to the old town to shop and eat. You can spend the whole day there, since everything is walking distance. I did not know the museum has peacocks.

    It’s a beautiful museum with a lot of interesting items related to ships and sailing. The museum is located in the fortress with nice views at the sea and city.
