xxxxx Saint-Tropez
MUSÉE DE LA GENDARMERIE ET DU CINÉMA
Saint-Tropez has a rich film history. Several classic movies were filmed here and the film industry — thanks to Brigitte Bardot — put Saint-Tropez on the map. The old police headquarters, the ' gendarmerie ' used to be housed in this building but now it’s home to the Museum of Police and Cinema. There
is a link — the highest grossing movie of 1964 in France was
The Troops of Saint-Tropez about a police o²cer transferred into town to deal with nudists and his errant daughter. Charming and cute.
CHURCH OF NOTRE DAME DE L’ASSOMPTION
This large church presides over the whole town and it’s well worth a visit. You’re not allowed to take photos but there is some lovely artwork inside. The views from the top of the hill are stunning.
