This dike, closing the port, offers a beautiful view of Saint-Tropez, the gulf, Grimaud, Beauvallon, Sainte-Maxime, Esterel and, in clear weather, the Alps.

In July 2010, Mayor Jean-Pierre Tuveri proceeded to inaugurate the reinforcement of the Jean-Réveille môle and the construction of a promenade along the sea. The works which lasted six months made it possible to reinforce the structure of the dike thanks to a sea transport of 16 000 tonnes of blue porphyry rocks and also to create a pedestrian path over a length of 150 meters.

Cette jetée, fermant le port, offre une belle vue sur Saint-Tropez, côté ville et côté citadelle, le fond du golfe, Grimaud, Beauvallon, Sainte-Maxime, l'Esterel et, par temps clair, les Alpes.

En juillet 2010, le maire Jean-Pierre Tuveri a procédé à l’inauguration du renforcement du môle Jean-Réveille et de la construction d’une promenade côté mer. Les travaux qui ont duré six mois ont permis de conforter la structure de la digue grâce à un apport par voie maritime de 16 000 tonnes de roches de porphyre bleu de l’Esterel et d’aménager un chemin piétonnier sur une longueur de 150 mètres.
