A dessert? The "Tarte Tropézienne"

Created in 1955 by Polish pastry-maker Alexandre Micka, this soft brioche tart with an inner layer of irresistible cream and sprinkled with sugar is one of the symbols of the Saint-Tropez lifestyle.

A word? Torpes

According to legend, Saint-Tropez owes its name to the knight Torpes. Refusing to recant his Christian faith, this Roman centurion from the court of Emperor Nero was executed, his body thrown into a rowing boat which drifted as far as the Saint-Tropez shore.

A season? Summer

Saint-Tropez is the French Riviera’s chic, up-beat destination for stylish holidays on the Mediterranean shore. On the programme, sunshine, beaches and partying, but also cultural and historic discoveries.

A celebrity? Brigitte Bardot

Filmed in Saint-Tropez, the movie Et Dieu… créa la femme (Roger Vadim, 1956) was a turning-point in Brigitte Bardot’s career. A few years later, her song “La Madrague” became a hit that people still hum today in summer.

A book? La naissance du jour by Colette

In 1925, Colette acquired a house in Saint-Tropez, on the Bay of Les Canebiers, where she spent many summers. The setting, was a source of inspiration for her work, including her autobiographical novel, La Naissance du jour.

An animal? A cockerel

A cockerel was placed in the boat with the body of Centurion Torpes. It is said to have been found in a field of flax a few kilometres from Saint-Tropez. The “coq au lin” thus gave its name to the village of Cogolin.

An event? Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez

From 24 September to 1 October 2022 and from 2 October to 8 October 2022, the event, Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, welcomes all classic boats, without size limit, and modern boats up to 18m28.

A landscape? The beach of Pampelonne

With its turquoise water and golden sand, the legendary beach of Pampelonne in Ramatuelle is everyone’s dream. Stretching from Cap Saint Pierre to Cap Camarat, it is one of France’s most beautiful beaches.

Summer at Le Château de La Messardière

Destinations

Château de La Messardière is widely known as one of Saint-Tropez’s most exclusive addresses. Transformed into a luxury resort, it majestically surveys the Bay of Pampelonne.

A Tropezian legend.

On the hills of Saint-Tropez, an historic property stands in the midst of an estate of pinewoods and gardens: Château de La Messardière. Built in the 19th century, the castle was a wedding present for Henri Brisson de la Messardière, an officer and excellent horse-rider, and Louise Dupuy D’Angeac, a young artist and musician. In 1904, the family residence was transformed into an hotel, becoming an iconic place to stay in Saint-Tropez in the Roaring ‘Twenties. The spirit of Château, now entirely redesigned as a resort, remains unchanged.

Saint-Tropez sets sail

Destinations

There’ll be a party atmosphere in Saint-Tropez during the 23rd ‘Voiles de Saint-Tropez’ festival. For two weeks, the iconic village steps back in time to welcome 250 of the best sailors from around the world. It’s a unique event originally borne of two sailors challenging each other.

The story began in 1981 when Dick Jayson and his Swan 44 arrived at Saint Tropez’s port – a fashionable place welcoming celebrities from all over the world – and Jean Laurain challenged him to a race. The next day, they left from the foot of the Portalet Tower at Saint-Tropez.

From this, the Niourlague Race was born and ran for many years until, in 1999, it became the ‘Voiles de Saint-Tropez’ under the auspices of the Saint-Tropez Nautical Society.

Today it is considered a highlight of the sailing world and every year, this iconic meeting attracts some of the most beautiful boats in the world, with traditional boats and the most avant-garde sailors coming together for this (almost) fortnight-long event.

Airelles properties in Saint-Tropez are putting out the flags to welcome its guests during the festival. Set in the heart of the town close to the port, Pan Deï Palais is the ideal place to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Saint-Tropez. With 12 Rooms and Suites, Dolceva restaurant and a secret garden with an azur pool, Pan Deï Palais is a luxurious oasis where you can enjoy an indulgent breakfast, a sweet and savoury minibar, soft drinks by the pool and many other services.

“A highlight of the sailing world.”

“Château de La Messardière is in an exceptional location, a little higher in the Ramatuelle hills.”

Inside Airelles

Château de La Messardière is in an exceptional location, a little higher in the Ramatuelle hills, overlooking Pampelonne Bay. Surrounded by pine trees, ancient olive groves, vegetable gardens and swimming pools, the 12.5 hectare resort with 103 Rooms and Suites is the perfect place to reconnect with nature in a place renowned throughout the world.

As well as a generous breakfast, guests also enjoy access to the brand-new Valmont Spa and exclusive acces to Jardin Tropézina, the beach club of the hotel. With private transfers to the beach or town centre in a Mini Moke or a Rolls Royce Culliman, Château de La Messardière keeps the spirit of the upscale Riviera residences of time gone by alive.

Once again, ‘Les Voiles de Saint Tropez’, a colourful event which has remained popular throughout the years, brings together sailors from around the world. It starts on Saturday September 25.
