Pequeña capilla marinera enclavada en el puerto viejo de Saint-Tropez, dedicada a Santa Ana, protectora de pescadores y navegantes. Un tesoro humilde que evoca la alma pesquera de la villa.
The chapel is open to the public daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., although this may vary in the low season; it is recommended to check with the Saint-Tropez Tourist Office. It is located at Pointe de la Ferme, accessible on foot from the center of Saint-Tropez in about 20–30 minutes via a coastal path, or by car via Rue de la Ponche. For more details, see the official website: Saint-Tropez Tourist Office.
Visiting Saint Anne Chapel is completely free, as it is a historic chapel open to the public with no entrance fees. Reservations are not required, but voluntary donations are welcome for its upkeep. More information is available on the local tourism website: Saint-Tropez Tourist Office.
It is recommended to allow between 30 and 45 minutes to explore the chapel interior and enjoy the panoramic views of the sea and the Bay of Saint-Tropez. If you include the walking time along the path, the full visit may last up to an hour. It is a compact site, ideal for a quick stop on your itinerary.
Built in 1559 by local fishermen in honor of Saint Anne, the chapel is a symbol of Saint-Tropez’s seafaring tradition and houses ex-votos (offerings) from ships rescued from shipwrecks. Its location on a cliff gives it exceptional cultural value, representing centuries of devotion and protection for the fishing community.

The best time is at sunset in spring or autumn, when the crowds are smaller and the light creates spectacular views of the Mediterranean; avoid summer midday because of the intense heat. In peak season (June–September), go early in the morning for a quieter experience. Check the events calendar at: Saint-Tropez Tourist Office.
The main access is via a steep, partially paved path, which may be challenging for wheelchairs or visitors with reduced mobility; there are no dedicated ramps or elevators. It is suggested to contact the Tourist Office for alternative options or limited assistance. Phone: +33 4 94 97 45 21; more info at: Saint-Tropez Tourist Office.
Nearby you will find the Citadel of Saint-Tropez just a 15-minute walk away, with historic views, and the famous Pampelonne Beach a 10-minute drive away for relaxing on the sand. You can also explore the Old Port with its yachts and cafés. For a complete map, visit: Discover Saint-Tropez.
Wear comfortable shoes for the rocky path, and bring sunscreen and water, especially on hot days; respect the silence and do not touch the fragile ex-votos.
