Saint-Tropez has managed to retain a quiet charm in its narrow streets, traditional restaurants shaded by grapevines, and the pretty harbor lined with wooden masts. Spectacular white sand beaches line the Gulf de Saint-Tropez while the Provencal countryside rises behind the town with medieval villages, vineyards, and lavender fields sweeping over the rolling hills. Saint-Tropez combines this old-fashioned charm with its status as the preferred destination for the rich and famous. A pretty Provencal village with an immaculate maze of cobbled lanes filled with boutiques and lovely cottages with painted shutters, Saint-Tropez is also well-known for its designer boutiques, glitzy art galleries, world-renowned beach clubs, and exclusive nightclubs.
