Famous artists used to spend their summers in this one-time sleepy fishing village, but then 1950s movie siren Brigitte Bardot put it in the spotlight while filming And God Created Woman. Ever since, it’s attracted the international jet set. At the Vieux Port, huge yachts tussle for the best spots. You can still catch glimpses of St-Tropez’s past in the charming cobbled La Ponche quarter.
Who is it for?
Couples
Watch a game of petanque, meander the lanes of the old fishing area and have afternoon tea at a cafe on Place des Lices.
Beach Lovers
Pampelonne is the longest and most popular stretch of sand.
Night Owls
Not surprisingly, the nightlife in St-Tropez is a glitzy affair. The Caves du Roy club is the place to be seen.
