Saint-Tropez (Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur)

Nestling at the foot of the Massif des Maures in the Var department, Saint-Tropez is an internationally renowned seafaring village. With its soft lights, Provençal traditions and elegant lifestyle, Saint-Tropez is a magnet for all hearts.

From the 15th to the 17th century, Saint-Tropez was repopulated by Genoese families charged with defending the town and building fortifications. From then on, the fishing port became a thriving maritime trade center. By the end of the 18th century, Saint-Tropez had become France's third-largest Mediterranean port. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Saint-Tropez's reputation took off, spurred on by the arrival of numerous artists and writers, charmed by the village's assets.

Saint-Tropez boasts an admirable heritage, including the 16th-century citadel, the Portalet tower, the Notre-Dame-de-l'Assomption church with its colorful campanile, not to mention the Château de la Moutte. Art also takes pride of place in the town's various museums and art galleries. For generations, Saint-Tropez has attracted celebrities, artists and scholars from all over the world, including Guy de Maupassant, Paul Signac, Henri Matisse, Colette, Jean Cocteau, Brigitte Bardot and many others.

The Gulf of Saint-Tropez, which stretches from Ramatuelle to Sainte-Maxime, hides landscapes worthy of the most beautiful postcards. Backed by the Massif des Maures, the bay offers a succession of creeks, inlets, shady sandy beaches and harbors. Saint-Tropez is also a lively place, with a multitude of restaurants offering Provencal flavours and the local speciality, the tarte tropézienne, luxurious hotels, designer boutiques and a marina home to sumptuous yachts.
