You are on Place des Lices, one of the most emblematic places in Saint-Tropez. Under the shade of plane trees, the esplanade lives to the rhythm of cafes, terraces and pétanque games.
Walking down Gambetta Street, in the heart of the old neighborhood of large families of navigators, you come across a small but discreet chapel full of charm: the Chapel of Mercy, also called the Chapel of the Black Penitents.
You are in front of the Jarlier Tower, one of the three large towers still standing in Saint-Tropez, alongside the Old Tower and the Portalet Tower.
From here, you can enjoy an unobstructed view to take your perfect shot of Saint-Tropez Bay.
Behind its ochre facades and its steeple that proudly slices through the Tropezian sky, the Church of Our Lady of the Assumption has been watching over the village and its inhabitants for centuries.
You are in the square of the City Inn, the civic heart of Saint-Tropez. The town hall occupies a former 17th century Inn, which became a municipal seat in 1808.
Here you are in front of the Citadel of Saint-Tropez, the great silhouette that has dominated the village for more than four centuries.
Here you are in Rue de la Ponche, one of the most evocative of old Saint-Tropez. Here, everything is reminiscent of the original village, with its narrow streets, façades in past colors and this postcard atmosphere.
In front of you opens the Ponche beach, tiny and yet legendary. Wedged between houses and towers, it was for a long time a fishing beach, where boats were pulled in the early morning.
You are in front of the Old Tower, built at the end of the 15th century. Here, it was all about vigilance. The Tropezians lived in a time when the Mediterranean was full of threats: pirates, privateers, enemy fleets.
You are in front of La Glaye beach, more discreet than La Ponche. Wedged between the ramparts, it keeps an intimate, almost secret atmosphere.
You are in front of the Portalet Tower, built in the 15th century at the entrance of the old port. Its name comes from the Provencal and means “little door”.
The port of Saint-Tropez is the heart of the village, and it always has been. Today, it lines up luxury yachts and small colorful boats, but we must imagine that in the 17th and 18th centuries, it was a port of war and commerce.
If there’s something in travel and on holiday that puts everyone in tune, it’s the discovery of the gastronomy and specialties of the region visited!
You are in front of the Museum of the Annunciation, housed in an old chapel of the 16th century, by the port. From the outside, there’s nothing to tell what’s inside, and yet: it’s one of the most remarkable modern art museums in the area.
Every course has its little light stories, those told with a smile over coffee. Here are some tropezian anecdotes to know.
Depending on your generation... and your cultural references... This building may tell you something right now... or not at all! For some, he immediately evokes a cult saga: The Gendarme de Saint-Tropez with Louis de Funès, launched in 1964 and which has become a worldwide success.
You are in front of the statue of Brigitte Bardot, inaugurated in 2017 for her 83rd birthday. The work of Milo Manara, famous Italian cartoonist, it shows her sitting in a shell, barefoot, hair in the wind, looking dreamy.
Saint-Tropez did not only seduce the Fauve and Pointillist painters of the early 20th century. The city continues to inspire creators, such as Orlinski Gallery, recognizable for its pop and monumental sculptures, Bel-Air Fine Art, Galeries Bartoux, Galerie Sol and many others.
You are rue Étienne Berny, in front of a discreet facade with colorful shutters. Here, there is nothing to suggest that inside lies a unique museum: the Butterfly House.
At the corner of Place des Lices, you see a stele dedicated to Jean Moulin, a major figure in the French Resistance during World War II.
