    SAINT- TROPEZ FRENCH RIVIERA Saint-Tropez Peninsula Saint-Tropez flourishing port and agricultural centre in the 18th century, Saint-Tropez has become a fashionable city over the years. Its myth is dreamlike and enduring: You will find yourself, as if by magic, in the centre of Saint Tropez. A small village, which since the 1950’s is no longer simply the heart of Provence, but also the heart of fashion. Both inspired and muse, Saint Tropez is the favoured home of the leading houses in luxury, design and couture, and the most authentic designers. Vachon, Jean Bouquin, Lothar’s, K Jacques... these prominent designers have made their mark on the world. The village is still a “must” for celebrities, sea lovers, history and art enthusiasts and those enthralled with the past. ThroughoutA the year, world-renown events are scheduled and contribute to the town’s legend: Nautical flea market, Polo Masters, the Voiles... Yet, behind the festivities, Saint-Tropez remains an authentic village, a small fishing port with many facets and endless charm. The village boasts picturesque lanes, a 16th-century citadel, the famous Musée de l’Annonciade (Annunciation Museum) and a Provençal market. The Bay of Pampelonne, near Ramatuelle is at the origin of the “Saint-Tropez myth”. This immense 5km white sandy bay bounded to the north by Cap de Saint-Tropez and to the south by Cap Camarat, changes colour with the shifting currents, sandbanks and posidonia seaweed. Ramatuelle amatuelle is a picturesque mediaeval village perched on a rocky cliff-top. This peaceful village without hustle and bustle contrasts decidedly with the fashionable and trendy “jet set”-oriented Pampelonne beach, and is the host of the Ramatuelle Festival and the Nuits du Chateau de la Moutte..

  • The French Riviera & Louis Vuitton
    THE FRENCH RIVIERA & LOUIS VUITTON The making of a legend A SPace BetWEEN sea & SKY From Menton to Hyères, a narrow strip of land runs alongside the Mediterranean Sea, riddled with capes and bays, as if pushed towards the water by the strength of the nearby Alpes Maritimes. Before the arrival of road crews and railways, it could only be accessed by water, as did the Ancient Greeks and Romans, who fell in love with this charming, temperate coast. Nike, Forum Julii, Cemenelum: the colonies crept along the land, later joined by the Via Julia Augusta, a section of the great Aurelian way. After centuries of unrest, the first modern road - Napoléon’s Grande Corniche - was to follow a similar route on the Nice-Menton section, though the area’s borders continued to shift well into the Twentieth Century. AN ENGLISHMAN’S coast “They are certainly English, but I could not say whether French or German.“ (A Nice innkeeper, recorded by Alexandre Dumas in his Impressions de voyage.) This azure coast remained a transit zone, a little-known vista where sallow British complexions first came to seek the healing virtues of the sun, as prescribed by their doctors. Among them, Tobias Smollett, also a noted writer, who told (even in 1766!) of the hordes of mosquitos and gigolos he found in situ. However, his countrymen were quick to follow and played a key role in shaping today’s Riviera. When the winter of 1821 proved too harsh for the citrus crops, Nice’s British community employed the farmers to construct a seaside promenade which logically became known as..

  • FODOR's PROVENCE & the FRENCH RIVIERA, 9Th EDITION
    FODOR’S PROVENCE & THE FRENCH RIVIERA, 9th EDITION: QUINTESSENTIAL PROVENCE AND THE FRENCH RIVIERA Pastis and Pétanque In every village from the Rhône Valley to the Italian border, under every deepshaded allée of plane trees, the theater of Provençal life plays itself out slowly, serenely, and sociably. The café is a way of life in Provence, a cool outdoor living room where friends gather like family and share the ritual of the long, slow drink, the discussion of the weather (hot), and an amble over to the pétanque (lawn-bowling) court. The players stand, somber and intense, hands folded behind backs, and watch the intricate play of heavy metal balls rolling and clicking. A knot of onlookers gathers, disperses, is reinforced. In this region of the animated debate, the waving gesture, the forefinger punching to chest, it is a surprisingly quiet pastime. Just as refined a ritual is the drinking of the requisite pastis. The server arrives with a tray loaded with the appropriate props: a carafe of water emblazoned with “Ricard” or “51”; a bowl with an ice cube or two; a bowl of olives, black as jet; and a stubby glass cradling two fingers of amber liquid redolent of anise and licorice. Plop an ice cube into the liquor, then slowly pour a rope of cool water into the glass, watching for the magic moment when the amber transforms itself to milky white. Sip slowly, mop your forehead, and settle in. Dining à la Midi You’ll eat late in the Midi (south of France), rarely before 1 for lunch, usually after 9 at night.
