Forget all the hype about topless bathing, hedonistic bar scenes, and preening celebrities – St-Tropez is hands down the Riviera’s most charming town, a pastel-colored fishing village that happens to be one of
the most glamorous spots on earth. Just don’t come in July or August,when dense crowds make even a stroll in front of the yacht-filled harbor nearly impossible. Unlike other Riviera towns, St-Tropez has a perfectly preserved center – a colorful port unmarred by high-rise hotels and virtually unchanged for more than a century. (For evidence, visit the portside Impressionist museum L’Annonciade to see the early-20th-century images of St-Tropez.) Bustling cafes crowd the old port, and behind them, the winding village streets beckon with exclusive boutiques and romantic restaurants. All paths lead up to the citadel, a 16th-century fort perched at the top of the town.
The beaches of St-Tropez are a lively scene – an integral part of the Tropezienne experience. The most famous beaches are located several miles from town and lined with restaurants and clubs. Pampelonne
Beach, on the peninsula’s southeast coast, is the most famous (or notorious) stretch of sand on the Riviera. After a day on the beach, it’s time to gear up for a memorable dinner and a taste of St-Tropez after dark. The crowd is young and starts out late: Dinner is at 10 p.m., and bar hopping begins shortly thereafter. If you aren’t into the bar scene, you may enjoy strolling along the old port or people-watching from one of the portside cafes.
St-Tropez is difficult to get to without a car (no trains stop there) or even with a car. Plan on at least a half-day of travel to reach the resort.Summer traffic onto the peninsula can be bumper-to-bumper for miles.To get there the closest major bus-and-train hub is St-Rapha
