Eating on the route du Plan de la Tour: a guide to the Sainte-Maxime hinterland
The easy-to-reach gourmet stop on the route du Plan de la Tour: homemade cooking, free parking, away from the crowds of the centre and the seafront.
Leaving Sainte-Maxime to the north means trading, within minutes, the bustle of the port for the route du Plan de la Tour, the road that climbs gently towards the Maures hinterland.
It is on this road, on the town side, that Nomadia welcomes you: an easy-to-reach gourmet stop, with free parking, away from the crowds of the centre and the seafront. This guide explains where the road runs and why that helps, what you find in the hinterland rather than on the coast, what you eat with us and, finally, how to get here without circling for a parking space.
The road
Where the route du Plan de la Tour runs, and why that helps
The route du Plan de la Tour is the road linking the Sainte-Maxime seafront to the village of Plan-de-la-Tour, tucked higher up in the hills. You pick it up at the northern exit of town: within a few bends, you leave the port behind and climb towards the vineyards and the Maures forest.
In practice, Nomadia is about a 5-minute drive from the town centre and the port. The point is simple: rather than diving into the downtown gridlock in peak season, you head north and arrive in peace, without spending twenty minutes finding your way through the one-way streets.
Hinterland or seafront
The calm of the Maures rather than the seafront crowds
Taking the route du Plan de la Tour means choosing the Sainte-Maxime hinterland: the calm of the Maures hills, a more authentic feel, homemade cooking and an address open all year round rather than for a single summer. Away from the packed port terraces, you find space, shade and the time to settle in.
Let us be clear, though, about our location: Nomadia is ON the road, on the Sainte-Maxime side. We are not in the village of Plan-de-la-Tour itself, further up in the countryside, nor on the seafront. It is precisely this in-between spot that makes us useful: close enough to town to come in five minutes, quiet enough to unwind.
The gourmet stop
What you find at Nomadia, on the road
Our restaurant Plan de la Tour stands for a simple idea: homemade cooking, prepared on site, served in a setting where you are not packed together. The terrace seats 110, shaded by plane trees, and service is available both in the dining room and to take away depending on your day.
The spirit is that of a warm stop rather than a table putting on airs: you come for a real break, with family, colleagues or in passing between the town and the high country. To discover the dishes of the moment, take a look at the menu before you come.
