The myth of Saint-Tropez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An international tourism star, Saint-Tropez has contributed to the fame of the C\u00f4te d’Azur: as early as 1950, when the Parisian artistic and intellectual world, enchanted by the charm of the little port, descended on “Saint-Trop”: the myth was born.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the arrival of Brigitte Bardot in the 60s, it became even more pronounced. Since then, Saint-Tropez has become a favorite destination of the “Tout-Paris mondain” and the international jet set, with several private parties held every evening in the luxurious Gulf villas, some of the guests even arriving by helicopter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the caf\u00e9 terraces, the aim of visitors is to see and be seen, while in the harbour, gigantic yachts rival each other in size, crew and superb creatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The herb square offers fruit, flowers, vegetables and fish freshly caught by the “Pescadous”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Saint-Tropez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The legend of Saint-Tropez tells how the Christian centurion Torp\u00e8s, beheaded by order of Nero, was put in a boat and delivered to the waves with a rooster and a dog, which should have devoured him but left his body intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boat would then have landed on the coast at the exact location of what would become the village of Saint-Tropez, due to the distortion of the name Torp\u00e8s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to be missed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
