St-Tropez is the excess capital of the world. You’d be stunned at the prices, if you weren’t distracted by the beautiful yachts and beautiful people. Independent wealth thrives here, as evidenced by the numerous boats flying the flags of blacklisted tax havens. In a town where the tip to the dockmaster can run you as much as €5000, it can be hard to find deals. Apparently rich people just like spending money as a way to keep out the petty-folk. The real attraction here are the party beaches, which light up at night and continue until day break. Unfortunately, these parties are exclusive and hard to access without a yacht or some serious nighttime espionage. Beyond the money, Saint Tropez is an incredibly beautiful town, and unlike any other on the Riviera in terms of architecture and layout of the town. Villas and small alleys make up the heart of the town, and it vaguely resembles a seaside village in Spain or Italy with its terra-cotta rooftops and colored tiles. It’s easy to see why Hollywood and the mega wealthy fell in love with it, but that means making a serious dent in your wallet to enjoy it yourself.
