Situated on a peninsula, Saint-Tropez has become since the early 50's an international capital of luxurious and glamorous tourism. This is an heavenly place for whom can afford it and an entertaining place for everyone. In fact, Saint-Tropez is a typical village of Southern France which has been invested by stars and millionaires for its beauty and its quietness.
What to discover?
At the end of the 50's, Saint-Tropez became the set of the film of Roger Vadim "And God Created Woman", a film that skyrocketed Brigitte Bardot and the city to stardom. Nowadays, the fame of the city spreads up to vivid villages in the vicinity of Saint-Tropez such as Ramatuelle and Gassin, which is one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France.
Despite its popularity, Saint-Tropez has kept its authenticity: "petanque" on the Place des Lices, savoring "tropezienne" which is a succulent pastry. In the steep and ochre-colored streets, there are fashion designers stores: Escada, Jen-Paul Gaultier, Dolce & Gabanna and many others.
You must notice that because of the traffic-jam, you may rent a motorcycle or even a bicycle for moving. Actually, the particularity of Saint-Tropez lies in the luxury which is present everywhere. On the harbor, there are numerous yachts which rival each other concerning the size and the beauty of women on the deck; you must admire them from the terraces of Senequier or Le Gorille where you have to be seen.
There are also private sandy beaches with restaurants, bars and fairytale parties such as La Voile Rouge. Magnificent luxury hotels charms whose name are The Byblos or the Chateau de la Messardiere with their fabulous panoramas, gentleness, warmth and tranquility.
Moreover, Saint-Tropez is a town of hedonism and the parties are here to prove it. In world-famous night clubs such as Papagayo, VIP room or Les Caves du Roy, you can meet stars and royal families members such as Bono, George Clooney, Mick Jagger (who married there with Bianca in 1971).
