St Tropez France<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Since the days of Brigitte Bardot, St. Tropez has been known as a playground for the rich and famous.\u00a0 But thanks to New York Habitat, you don\u2019t have to be rich or famous to enjoy spectacular accommodations\u00a0in Saint Tropez<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong> This fall is a perfect time to visit: the temperatures are cooler, the tourists have all gone back to work, and the 10th annual St. Tropez Sails event will take place from September 24th to October 2th, 2011.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The name of the town comes from the martyr Saint Tropes, who was beheaded by the Emperor Nero in Pisa and then sent out to sea.\u00a0 His body landed in the South of France. The town remained a quiet fishing village for much of its history, until the twentieth century, when it became the European vacation spot for celebrities from around the world<\/strong>, though it still retains much of its small-town charm. \u00a0<\/p>\n

You will be happy to know Saint Tropez offers lots of attractions<\/a> for your vacation fun. From guided tours and culture walks through the older parts of town, to the many outdoor markets and local wineries, St. Tropez holds on to its provincial heritage.\u00a0 But the glamorous clientele have left their mark on the town as well.\u00a0 One thing that is sure to attract the moneyed class is St. Tropez Sails, a yachting festival featuring both traditional and modern yachts and daily races.\u00a0 For those of you not nautically inclined, the Annonciade Museum has become one of the centers for twentieth century and avant-garde art, featuring such French masters like Matisse and Braque.<\/strong> World class restaurants and night clubs let you live like a star, or maybe even with a few of them!\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget about the beautiful beaches either!\u00a0 Head to the Bay of Pampelonne, five kilometers (around 3 miles) of uninterrupted sandy shores with many opportunities for windsurfing, water-skiing, and other water activities, or if you prefer, simply relax on the beach and take in the sights and sounds of St. Tropez.<\/p>\n
