Dazzling Saint Tropez and villages

Overview

Discover Saint Tropez, this ancient fishing village which still has a strong character and an international reputation; alone, its name evokes cliches of beaches, yachts and jet-set parties full of celebrities. The painter Paul Signac in the 19th century and Brigitte Bardot in the 20th century contributed to Saint Tropez' popularity and fame. Stroll on the old port which is its real city center and admire the view on the gulf and the yachts. You could also book a 1 hour tour along the bay with the Millionaires' villas. Head then to one of the hilltop villages Ramatuelle or Grimaud which are perched on the living rock. Their old streets and vaulted passageways are a living illustration of the charm of the old Provence villages. Drive then to the "Venice of Provence", Port Grimaud, which was built on a former marshland in the Sixties. Discover the astonishing architecture which combines sea, sailing and living space. Canals are streets and boats anchor near to houses. Great pictures!
