St Tropez

France

Saint-Tropez is a small port town on the French Riviera, in the Var. A fishing village made famous by artists and then by Brigitte Bardot in the 1950s, it became a byword for glamour. Attractions include the old port's yachts and artists' square, the citadel's maritime museum, the Annonciade museum's post-impressionists who discovered the town, the Place des Lices' pétanque players, the beaches of Pampelonne, and the pastel lanes of the village behind the glitter.
