St Tropez Honeymoon

Discover St Tropez – one of the French Riviera’s liveliest towns – where the twisting, narrow cobblestone streets of the Old Quarter open on to tiny squares, and a quay lined with tall pastel-hued houses overlooks a port filled with millionaires’ yachts.

This former sleepy fishing village became increasingly popular after the 1950s success of Roger Vadim’s film Et Dieu Créa la Femme (And God Created Woman), starring Brigitte Bardot.

Things to do and see
Today, you can relax in a choice of chic al fresco waterfront cafés and fine dining restaurants that also allow you to watch the rich and famous dining out on the decks of huge yachts tied up along the quay.

Sip an espresso al fresco and watch old men playing pétanque in the shade of old pine trees at picturesque Place des Lices. Later browse for designer labels in the square’s upmarket fashion boutiques or at the colourful market held on Saturday and Tuesday mornings.

Admire paintings by artists such as Bonnard, Matisse, Utrillo and Braque among others at the Musee de l'Annonciade on Place Grammont – one of the Riviera's finest collections of Impressionist paintings.

Climb up to the 17th century Citadel for great sea views, then join the locals on one of St Tropez’ great beaches, easily reached by taxi, bicycle and scooter or on foot along the Sentier Littoral, a pathway that snakes around the southern coast.

Accommodation
St Tropez offers an array of hotel accommodation to suit all budgets. Splurge on either the legendary Hotel Byblos, which boasts a feast of creature comforts such as a luxury spa and a premiere nightclub, or the opulent Le Bastide de St Tropez, noted for its fine dining restaurant, L’Olivier.
