Saint-Tropez

Saint-Tropez Travel Guide

What was once a small fishing village has developed into the world renowned glamour city on the French Cote d’Azur. A dazzling coast, chic resorts and a quintessential Provencal charm keep Saint-Tropez on the must-see list for any discerning traveler. This small fishing village on the French Cote d’Azur is a paradise of beautiful people, stunning yachts and lavish opulence. A haven to see and be seen, the charming seaside overlooking the azure Mediterranean has attracted la crème de la crème for decades.

Historically a shipping port, Saint-Tropez still draws yachts from around the world, some measuring over 160 feet long (50m). There is a regatta held every October in the bay of Saint-Tropez, where each sprawling yacht is more elaborate than the last.

Saint-Tropez’s history is more colorful than a Matisse painting. The name derives from a peculiar legend about a beheaded Roman soldier whose body was placed in a boat along with a rooster and a dog and later found washed ashore where the town stands today. It was a mecca for bohemians in the late nineteenth century, including neo-Impressionists Paul Signac and Henri Matisse himself. The town became a center of creativity and style, often used as a summer home to many Parisian painters, writers and other artists. However, it wasn’t until the voluptuous French vixen Brigitte Bardot starred in “And God Created Woman” in 1956 that Saint-Tropez soared into stardom.

With Bardot as the helm, Saint-Tropez became a symbol of the bold and the beautiful, an ultimate destination for the jet-set crowd. The sun-kissed style reputation continues today, as chic trendsetters dock their yachts in the most beautiful harbor on the Riviera and set off to dine at some of the world’s tastiest restaurants.
