Saint-Tropez
12 Km away from Sainte-Maxime and known on an international scale, Saint-Tropez has welcomed, in the 1950s famous Parisian intellectuals such as the painter Picasso, the poet Jacques Prévert as well as the writer Françoise Sagan. Since the arrival of Brigitte Bardot and the show business people in the 1960s, Saint-Tropez has become the in vacation place for Parisians of the chic society and the international jet set.
New boutiques bearing the names of most famous couturiers, chefs and designers have been settled ever since giving rise to most stagy openings. Life by night is most pompous : paste, flashy jewellery, evening parties and beaches washed down with champagne, tourists are still as much attracted by the ‘no limit’ and no one gets tired watching the magnificent yachts lying at the quay, rivalling to see which one is the biggest and the prettiest and where the visitors stroll about in the middle of the stalls of the local painters.
Indescribable, incredible and surrealist, make you own judgment.
