What is good to know if travelling to Saint-Tropez?

• The most famous beaches are Bouillabaisse, Les Graniers and Leï Salins.
• The Bravades is a religious and military celebration that takes place in the middle of May each year in honour of St Tropez’s patron saint, a Roman martyr named Torpes. He was the highest steward of the house of Nero who converted to Christianity. Not pleased with this, the emperor had him killed. His decapitated body was put in a boat, with a cockerel and a dog, and set on the water. When the boat floated onto the shore at St Tropez, the residents adopted him as their patron saint.
• Place des Lices is very popular with bowls players. It is also home to the markets that take place every Tuesday and Saturday morning. Shop there for local delicacies, fruit and vegetables and souvenirs. During the peak tourist months, get to the market before 9am to mingle with the locals.
• Saint Tropez is a starry, starry place. Past luminaries who have pitched up there include Brigitte Bardot, who frolicked famously there. The writer Guy de Maupassant stayed there, describing the town in his memoir Sur l’Eau (On the Water). The artist Paul Signac discovered the port and the quality of the light there and St Tropez became a haven for artists including Henri Matisse, Georges Braque, Georges Seurat and Andre Derain.
