xxxxx Saint-Tropez
FOLLOW THE COASTAL PATH The coastline is wonderful around Saint-Tropez — full of rugged walkways and little paths that open out into expansive beaches. It’s possible to walk the entire coastline for miles and miles (the ' littoral '), stopping on the way at the Cap Camarat lighthouse before taking in the nudist beach at Tahiti Beach and ending up at a lovely beachside restaurant.
SAVOUR THE HISTORY OF LA PONCHE The historic fishing village of La Ponche is a wonderful place to wander around. It was a thriving harbour in the 18th and 19th-centuries and where all the fishermen used to live. Today, its cobbled streets and beautiful buildings are a wonderful place to hang out. The area also has one of the few parks in town.
EAT A TARTE TROPÉZIENNE Saint-Tropez has its own dessert that is hugely popular. The ' Tarte Tropézienne ' was created by a Polish baker in 1955 when he opened a bakery in the centre of town. It was based on the French brioche — but cut into two and filled with cream, using his grandmother’s recipe. He was asked to cater for Brigitte Bardot’s film crew working on Pampelonne beach. She loved his cake, named it and both became immensely popular.
