The municipality of Saint-Tropez has been officially recognized as a natural disaster area following heavy rains and mudslides that occurred on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. This decision, published in the Official Journal, allows victims to benefit from compensation.

This recognition follows an interministerial decree that includes Saint-Tropez among the 19 municipalities in the Var department affected by the bad weather. Residents and professionals who have suffered material damage will thus be able to be compensated, subject to the terms of their insurance contract.
Affected individuals have a period of 30 days from the publication of the decree to report their claim to their insurer. The deadline is set for November 28, 2026.
To facilitate these procedures, it is advised for victims to photograph the damage observed, keep invoices and receipts for damaged property, and contact their insurer as soon as possible.
The City of Saint-Tropez has stated it remains fully committed to supporting the residents and professionals affected by these weather events.
