St Tropez
The little port’s eclectic mix of modern luxury yachts and colourful Provençal facades clustered round an ancient citadel never seems to go out of fashion.
St Tropez as an area stretches way beyond its famous port, encompassing the long sandy beaches of Pampelonne and reaching inland to impossibly pretty villages such as Grimaud, Gassin, La Croix Valmer and Ramatuelle.
St Tropez enjoys an enviable location on the southern shore of what is arguably the most beautiful bay on the Côte d’Azur. It is a magnet for celebrities, artists, musicians and their admirers.
The port is the center of activity in cosmopolitan St Tropez and it buzzes with life day and night – clubs, cabarets, cafes, restaurants, shops, boutiques, galleries and antique shops pepper the charmingly rustic streets. Inland the perched medieval villages offer a chic yet quieter way of life, perfectly complementing the glamour of the fashionable hotspots.
