Fifty kilometers southwest of Cannes is a mythical village where everything is famous. Today's Saint Tropez is generally held as an international Mecca for tourists the world over. A seaside resort town set on the blissful blue water of the Bay of Saint Tropez with its competing line of yachts along the quay; terrace cafes; slow cruising expensive cars, and the chic Parisians and international jet set - Saint Tropez is absolutely adored by travelers. Here's where their perceptions are clarified as history meets modernity and the realization dawns that both are transitory.

Some of the best beaches in this medieval town are the Bouillabaisse Beach, Caneliers Beach, and the Salins Beach. The Place des Lices is where movie stars and local stars gather to play a game of 'boules' or to sip Pastis under the trees. Show business people, artists and writers have been charmed by this little port since the 1950s. Picasso, Francoise Sagan, Jacques Prevert and Brigitte Bardot were some of the first rich and famous folks you could bump into back then. People-watching continues to be one of the favorite sports in this unusual town, so look your best throughout your stay!

Apart from beautiful people, there are foxes in this town and it is legal to hunt them. If you're an animal lover against hunting, you might indulge your adventurous side by going hiking! You can see the multilingual staff at the Office de Tourisme to get more information regarding this.

If visiting in May, you will be able to witness a memorable Provencal festival known as The St Tropez's Bravade. Dating back to the 15th century, the Bravade is a procession in honor of a town's patron saint. There is singing and dancing, and you can join in. Actually, May, June and September (off months) may be your finest times to enjoy the true nature of this little town.

While the small streets and old buildings behind the cafes are picturesque, hold your breath for what you're about to discover here, for the multitude of shops and restaurants do offer each tourist endless possibilities for buying gifts and knickknacks to stuff the suitcase. There is a likelihood that you will run into Madonna or someone from the Friends cast! We suggest you remember to pack your camera, and then bear in mind keep it with you at all times!
