Ever since a young scantily clad Brigitte Bardot discovered Saint Tropez in the 1950s, the exclusive resort in the South of France has been some kind of magnet to the rich and famous. The original post was featured on St Tropez house
Countless stars from A-list Hollywood actors to leading politicians have made Saint Tropez their summer retreat, largely due to the privacy they can find here under the Tropezienne sun.
Many of the luxury waterfront villas have large gardens so prying lenses are not a problem; they also give easy access to the beautiful Mediterranean Sea where many superstars have luxury yachts at their disposal.
St Tropez also boasts a number of exclusive night spots such as the legendary VIP Rooms where celebrities have been letting their hair down for decades.
Who can you expect to see in and around Saint Tropez this year? We look at the Top 10 Celebrities in Saint Tropez:
- Kate Moss
