Saint Tropez - Beaches Ramatuelle

At the foot of the Massif des Maures, captured between the sky and sea, Saint Tropez and the iconic beaches of Ramatuelle covers a vast coastline.
 
From the citadel of the 16th century to the early twentieth century fishing village, international and mythical tourist capital, St Tropez has really contributed to the fame of the French Riviera.
 
The plane trees in the Place des Lices have sheltered many animated petanque games between stars of show business (Eddie Barclay and his band) and local 'stars', and beaches - Bouillabaisse, Caneliers, Salins, Pampelonne – give St. Tropez it’s reputation, becoming 'St Trop' in 1950, while Parisian intellectuals and artists, such as Picasso, Colette, Françoise Sangan and Prevert, went down there for the summer.
 
The myth was accentuated with the arrival of Brigitte Bardot in the 60s, and since then, St Tropez became one of the favorite places of all Parisian socialites and international Jet Set.
 
But Saint-Tropez, is above all a village without crowds, will express itself with its small charming alleys and warmly tinted flowers. Early in the morning, the place aux Herbes offers vegetables, fruits and flowers next to the marina where a few remaining fishermen sell their fish on the market, near the famous brewery "Gorilla" and "Sénéquier".
 
Saint-Tropez is also art: the village has played a major role in the history of Modern Art. Paul Signac discovered this place bathed in light and encouraged painters such as Matisse, Bonnard and Marquet to come to St. Tropez. This is where Pointillism and Fauvism first saw the light of day. Later, Saint-Tropez hosted Bernard Buffet, David Hockney, Donald Sultan.
