St. Tropez Soleil Book

The legend of St. Tropez begins with a dog, a rooster and a martyr; and leads to movie stars, world-renowned artists and distinguished writers. Located on the sparkling French Riviera, St. Tropez has enjoyed the spotlight for over half a century, for better or for worse, with celebrities flocking to this idyllic spot for its beaches and a dose of Mediterranean sunshine. A picturesque oasis, St. Tropez has inspired a who's who of notable writers, from Françoise Sagan to Colette; as well as renowned artists Paul Signac and Henri Matisse; and even filmmakers. However, St. Tropez would not be the same without the then belle du jour Brigitte Bardot, her movies and lovers and many other famous couples including Annabel and Bernard Buffet and Bianca and Mick Jagger.
St. Tropez Soleil guides the reader through its historic past and ever-evolving present. Featuring annual mainstays like Les Bravades and Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, as well as exclusive events like a Chanel fashion show at the quintessential Tropezian Sénéquier café and the White Party on Nikki Beach started by Naomi Campbell. But despite all the changes, the spirit of St. Tropez remains the same, and this volume is an ode to the one-of-a-kind joie de vivre that keeps everyone coming back.
