"Few places on earth prompt the same grade of hedonism as St. Tropez. It is written into the once sleepy fishing village's DNA, morphing from free-spirited bohemia into star-studded partying and then, more recently, hosting the global bling brigade. The glamorous chapter began in earnest when And God Created Woman was filmed on its pine-flanked shores, and Brigitte Bardot placed St. Tropez on the world map."
"The French New Wave, Parisian Left Bank coterie were leaving the pages of their books to bake in the French Riviera sun well before. And despite its 21st-century agenda of rampant revelry-the Champagne-popping-diamonds-and-stilettos-welcome-the village's bohemian spirit and Riviera elegance live on. You just need to know where to find it."
St. Tropez evolved from a sleepy fishing village into a bohemian refuge, then into a star-studded, glamorous playground. The 1950s film And God Created Woman and Brigitte Bardot elevated its international profile. Earlier visitors from the French New Wave and Parisian Left Bank frequented the Riviera for sun and leisure. The 21st century brought conspicuous luxury—champagne, diamonds and high fashion—yet elements of bohemian charm and Riviera elegance persist. The destination now caters to diverse desires, from coastal cleanses to caviar-laced tasting menus, with a range of hotels offering both indulgence and refined local character.
