The Theatre of Life, with you in the front row
Con
expensive, overcrowded in high season
In a nutshell
Unless you are rich and a snob, I wouldn't go.
nitrofan Says: Hi I can recommend chateau des garcinieres its very close to Staint Tropez on the N98 between Cogolin and La Foux (that's where the luna park is) the entrance to the chateau will be on your left as you approach Cogolin....
codrutz Says: Yes there is a tourist office in St. Tropez and it is right near the start of the harbor pathway. It is very useful to go in and ask for available accommodation. They give you a map and points the hotels. If you are happy with the price they phone the hotel and tell them you...
codrutz Says: This is the former police station in St. Tropez - le Gendarmerie Nationale - where Louis de Funes and his Gendarmes du Saint Tropez had their quarter in those funny old movies :) This is one real attraction of St. Tropez beside the luxury stuff.Check out the second picture -...
codrutz Says: There is a small park in St. Tropez, not really a park as it is mostly sand and some trees, with a restaurant on a side. It is mostly used by locals to play "boules" - the game with the heavy metal balls being thrown to the small little one in the sand - a French traditional...
codrutz Says: As you can expect there are expensive, more expensive and outrageous expensive restaurants. As long as you have money in your pocket to afford a dinner there you should stay at one of the restaurants on the harbor side and enjoy the moment.
codrutz Says: In the back of the houses you see in the harbor there is a small beach which is probably crowded in summer, though that is not the famous Nikki beach or a place for famous people, but it is a nice place to watch the water, and they have this strange moon looking monument on...

Joseph L'Escale: Tres chic, sumptuous seafood
Alikatt Says: L'Escale is at par with the tony scene (judging by the massive yachts anchored just steps away), the jet-set crowd: chic, bronzed French/international male and female beauties and the destination-savvy people like us. As soon as you score a table (the wait list can be very...
Café Sénéquier: best nougat ever!
Alikatt Says: This is a local spot where people converge to have cofee that watch 'St. Tropez life' go by. A hugely popular place among locals and visitors alike. Sensational nougat is available from the simple shop at the back of the cafe. coffee is more expensive than average but the...
Helpfulness
We were given the option of going to go to one of St. Tropez's premier night spots, we grabbed at it with both hands.
It costs 250Euro for a table and a bottle of a spirit of your choice with anunlimited supply of soft drinks/juices.
This may sound a lot, but when in a group of 10 people it was worth it. No, the bottle of spirit does not last very long when with this many people, agreed, but its worth it, for the music, the dancing, the people watching alone!
Its supposedly a favourite celebrity haunt such as Johnny Depp, George Clooney et al. Although when we were there I did not spot any celebs, although there did seem to be a bit of a hoohah and the whisper that somebody famous was in.
Yes its full of pretentious people but people that are out to have fun - the music is kicking, its one big party atmosphere.
In short, I had a fantastic time, dancing and people watching!
Dress Code: Smart casual, I heard that they had a no jeans policy, however, some of our group were wearing them and got entry! I think if you look the part you'll get in, or of course, if you have the money!
Us girls put on our best party frocks, its not everyday that you're in St. Tropez, dancing the night away at the local hotspot!

Show me the (other) way to St Tropez
NiceLife Says: Coming from Nice generally, the lure of a trip to St Tropez is hard to resist. If the timing of the daily boat from Nice Quai Lunel (or less frequent out of season) doesn't suit, independent travel is still a viable option.The most flexible way is the fairly frequent train...
sr.vagabond Says: my way to st.tropez from nice is to rent a car, drive up the freeway to st. maxime, get off and park in the village. It is a very short boat ride across the gulf to st. tropez and unlike St. Raphael the boats fro, st. maxime leave every hour in both directions.
codrutz Says: Shopping in St. Tropez? You must be rich or a little crazy to do that otherwise. Better keep the cash for having dinner, going to the beach or trying the bars at Nikki beach. Leave the shopping for other places.
"La Tarte Tropézienne" Traiteur: Un quatre heure? If the answer is yes...
Elainehead Says: Open hours: Everyday from 6h30 to 22hOnce you are inside, you start drooling. All those "tartes" and "bread"! The shop looks tiny but there's a tea saloon upstairs. We bought a "tartelette aux fraises" (3.30 Euros) and 2 brioches (I believe it was one Euro each - the...
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I was in St. Tropez the first week of September, and the days were hot, the evenings were comfortable enough to still be able to wear shorts and tshirts. I forgot my sandals so had to buy some in the town, they are very useful for an adventure holiday!!
Photo Equipment: I brought my Canon camera, which is fine for sightseeing in St. Tropez, but not when you are on an adventure holiday which involves a lot of water!! I recommend a disposable camera for that!
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Don't forget that swimming costume! The Mediterranean Sea was GORGEOUS!!! Oh, that water was just so warm, which is saying something as I'm one of those people who gets cold when there's a slight breeze!
Miscellaneous: As its St. Tropez be glitzy in the evenings!

egonwegh Says: In search of the authentic St. Tropez we found this square in the Old Town, where people were quietly playing their game of petanque. We had some steak on bread with BBQ sauce and Andalouse sauce and we also did some shopping at a local supermarket.
egonwegh Says: The Citadel, situated in the upper part of town, away from the harbour and the fancy yachts. Admittance euro 2.50/person (May 2010). Great view across the bay. From this high vantage point you'll also get to see the extremely fancy yachts, the ones that are so huge they...
reeka Says: Knee boarding was offered toward the end of the week as a bit of light hearted fun. It was surprisingly difficult to get a good position on the knee board, and then having to pull yourself up on to your knees whilst the boat is pulling you. Once on the board its great...
reeka Says: I decided to let a couple of people go ahead of me, to see how it was done. Just before my turn I had a horrible thought, that the water would be freezing (I hate the cold!!), all I was wearing was my swimming costume. As I jumped in the water felt beautiful, even at 8 in...
rtt007 Says: More than 100000 tourists visit Saint-Tropez every day. It is not only because of the well known movie stars, luxury boats, wonderful harbor view, sunny days and night lights. There is a magic attraction and charm in the atmosphere there. You may walk along the harbor and...
Travelling to St Tropez from St Raphael
nitrofan Says: To the best of my knowledge there are only two ferry drop off points in St Tropez.One is slightly west of the marina right on the main car park and about 5 mins slow walk from the harbour the other is in the harbour its self.Unless you can afford a helicopter flight you will...

I went to St. Tropez to find accommodation in my way back from Provence. I never expected to be impressed so much by St. Tropez. But it got to me with the perfect harbor, with the rich boats and the...
The jet-set get-set for St Tropez
As you begin your descent along the Riviera coast towards Nice airport, St Tropez is your first landmark. Here you see the tiny town snuggled in the "crotch" (yes, I think "crotch" is the appropriate...
Saint-Tropez - fishing village and Jet-Set
Although it became famous due to French films with Brigitte Bardot in the Fifties and got the centre of Jet-Set, Saint-Tropez is still a small and idyllic fishing village. It is said that the area...
Nicer than I expected - Very nice actually
Most people who know something of the French Cote d'Azur, know Saint-Tropez. During the 1960s, Saint-Tropez became a favourite hangout for the international jetset and has a mundaine reputation ever...
St Tropez is a famous town in France. It is the meeting point for famous and rich people partying on their private yacht. This is the place to be if you wanne be seen. Everyone here is more expensive...
