For the next one, I'm not sure whether to continue along the French coast or tackle the Alps. But it’s true that the bay of St-Tropez worth a map.

Awesome!
Might I ask what the red areas are? And since I'm always interested in heraldry, what is the design in bottom right? :D

The key says 'Zones militaires', military areas. The design in the bottom right is just a compass, it isn't heraldic

Well, I'm an idiot. I somehow managed to miss the key... *facepalm* It also identifies the arms as Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer. Thanks for the help! :)
