Saint-Tropez is one of the most important and famous resorts of the Cote d'Azur. It is also a luxury town that attracts the elite of the world of cinema, theater, music and business.
Until the interwar period, Saint-Tropez was an ordinary fishing village with traditional buildings. It has been preserved in the picturesque district of La Ponche, whose streets lead to the 17th-century citadel towering over the city. The heart of the old Sain-Tropez district is Lices Square, where the market is held twice a week. Many cafes and restaurants are also located at the Old Port, where luxury yachts moor next to fishing boats. You can learn a little more about the history of the city, its fort and connections with the cinema at the Gendarmerie and Cinema Museum.
Tourists and holidaymakers started coming to Saint-Tropez in the interwar period, when the entire Cote d'Azur gained great popularity. It soon became a resort for the richest, with luxurious hotels and apartments. This status continues to this day. The financial and cultural elite from all over the world have their villas and apartments here, and the city itself is a frequent film setting.
The Saint-Tropez area is famous for its beautiful beaches. The five-kilometer-long Pampelonne is considered the most beautiful. The well-managed Canoubiers is also popular, and those looking for seclusion can choose the hidden Moutte.
