Saint Tropez Review on French Riviera

St.Tropez is a small town in southern France, in the Var departement and is a part of well known and famous French Riviera. According to the legend “Saint Tropez” is named a martyr St.Torpes, – beheaded for refusionof giving up his faith. His body was thrown in a boat, which was drifted to st.tropez to a place which is today called : the Golfe de (Gulf of) Saint Tropez. Between 1470 to 1672, city of St.Tropez was ruled by captains as independent republic. Each captain had right to raise an army, which was actually used in 1637 to drove away Spanish galleons. This local area was free of French government taxes. However, King Louis XIV brought the city under control of France.

St.Tropez started to grow and attract international stars from 1920, but its international recognition came after 1950, also thanks to the famous star Brigitte Bardot and also due to famous movie series of Le gendarme de Saint Tropez.

During WWII, the allied forces had their central site on the city beach in the Operation Dragoon.

Today the city is popular thanks to its azure waters, luxurious yachts in harbor, famous hotels, cafes and clubs on the beaches. There are many tourists there and many luxury sports cars. Night life is fantastic and you can often see VIP guest arriving by helicopters. A lot of tourists come during summer with hope to meet some stars.

Baie de Pampelonne – part of the coast with best beaches 5 km long. Each beach has own hut, is about 30 metres wide and with public and private tanning area. Most popular activities are windsurfing, canoeing and sailing, other people prefer motorized water sports, like power boats, water skiing or jet bikes. Other beaches are quite, with cafes and restaurants on the water edge. There is a regatta with many great classic yachts (some 50 m long) held each October in the Saint Tropez bay.

Living It Up in Liguria and the Italian Riviera

For more than a century, international travelers have recognized the warmth and beauty of Italy’s famed Liguria region and the magnificent Italian Riviera. Long the place where the rich and famous would gather to enjoy warm water, wide sandy beaches, and posh resorts, the heyday of some towns in the Italian Riviera has passed but the area still maintains a certain upscale atmosphere that beckons discriminating travelers to come and explore.


Liguria is located in the northern portion of Italy, between the French Riviera, Piemonte, and Tuscany. The weather in the Liguria region is nearly always nice and can best be described as balmy. Thanks to its location, it’s protected from most nasty weather by the mountains of the Alpine range. The average summertime temperature is a comfortable 77 degrees fahrenheit and in the winter, it rarely dips below around 50 degrees. The sun is abundant and the vegetation is lush. That’s why, for decades, it’s been attracting the rich and famous who come to play in San Remo’s famed casino, enjoy the harbor at Portofino, or explore quaint seaside towns like Camogli and Rapallo.


Liguria is generally divided into two areas or coasts. West of Genoa is where you’ll find traditional wide, sandy beaches and the resorts that make it a much-visited vacation spot. This area is known as Riviera di Ponente or Shore of the Setting Sun. Stretching all the way to the French Riviera, this side of Liguria boasts towns such as turn-of-the-century Bordighera, with its beautiful seaside promenade; the famed resort of San Remo; the medieval town of Masone; pretty Alassio with its 2-mile long beach; and the hill town of Sassello.


On the eastern side of Genoa is Riviera di Levante, Shore of the Rising Sun. The towns here are less developed, the coast more rugged. You won’t find the huge resorts on this side of Genoa, but what you will find are some of Italy’s most charming small towns, all lined up within just a few miles of each other and eager to welcome visitors. Head for little Portofino, perfect for those who require a little glitz with their vacation, or if you’re looking for something less pretentious, travel just a few miles to pretty Santa Margherita Ligure, a charming town that was once a well-known retreat but is now quiet, boasting a pristine beach and lots of friendly locals.


If you’re a city person, however, and you’re visiting the Italian Riviera, don’t miss an opportunity to spend some time in Genoa, one of Italy’s least-visited cities but definitely worth a stop. Quite a historic city, Genoa’s history can be traced back to the Etruscans of the 5th century BC and the city is simply full of wonderful archeological and architectural gems.


The most visited sight in Genoa is probably The Palace of the Doges, dating from the 13th century (not to be confused with the one in Venice). Other must sees include the magnificent Cathedral of St. Lawrence (Cattedrale di San Lorenzo); the Old Harbor area; the Museo d’Arte Oriental with its excellent collection of Oriental art; and the fun and educational Aquarium of Genoa, one of the largest in Europe. You’ll also want to take a stroll down the Via Garibaldi. This street, lined with palaces, is a fascinating World Heritage Site.


No matter where you go in Italy, you’ll want to be sure to taste the local food. Liguria is no exception. Seafood, of course, is quite popular, given the region’s location, so expect most restaurants to have an excellent selection including fish that was just plucked from the sea hours before dinner is served. The produce in Liguria is equally as tantalizing and – like the seafood – you’ll often find fruit or vegetables on your plate that were picked that very same day. Be sure to try the orata, a tasty local fish, usually cooked with olives and potatoes; or the gattafin, pasta stuffed with beetroot, onion and parmesan. Liguria is also the birthplace of pesto sauce so remember to order a dish that includes this popular topping.
