Ever since a young, scantily-clad Brigitte Bardot discovered Saint Tropez in the 1950s, the exclusive resort in the South of France has been a magnet for the rich and famous. 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 Mediterranean sun. Many of the luxury waterfront villas have large gardens, so prying lenses are not a problem. They also offer 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 Room, where celebrities have been letting their hair down for decades.
So, which famous faces can you expect to see in and around Saint Tropez? We look at the 10 of the biggest celebrities in St Tropez that we’ve spotted recently.
