St Tropez is one of the most desirable holiday destinations in the world, but the traffic, which gets seriously clogged during summer, is a drawback. While driving can take hours, a Monaco to St Tropez helicopter ride takes just 25 minutes, and with several villas enjoying their own helipads, travelling by helicopter is not only stress-free; it's the way to arrive in style.
