About Saint Tropez

Saint Tropez is a playground for jet setters, culture enthusiasts, beach goers, and day drinkers. Located on the coast of the French Riviera, Saint Tropez is a now defunct military stronghold and fishing village turned luxury getaway destination.

The small village gained popularity in the 1950’s when famous actress and beauty queen Brigitte Bardot moved to the town to avoid the press and scale down her rise to fame. Since her move to Saint Tropez, the village’s popularity has continued to rise.

Now a trip to Saint Tropez is often enjoyed with ice cream from Barbarac, shopping at Place des Lices or Celine, watching the yachts in the port or a trip to the famous five kilometers long Pampelonne Beach and its 25 beach clubs.
