4 pearls of Saint Tropez

That you probably didn't know yet

This summer, I will lounge my behind in the massage chair of my brand new Renault Espace and set course towards the Côte. I'm not alone by the way, our intern Koen and editor Maartje have also chosen ‘Trop’ to lie down in a horizontal position for a while.

I have been to Saint Tropez once, but only in the harbor where I docked with the coolest Von Dutch boat. All the gems I've been reading about my whole life and that have been so influential for great fashion icons (Coco, Grace, Brigitte) I can finally visit myself. Because I like to find not only the classics but also some lesser-known trophies, Danie Bles whispered four undiscovered pearls to me. Danie is an absolute Saint Tropez habituée with an eagle eye for stylish and cool.

I would say; take screenshots, print it out or write it down the old-fashioned way in your notebook because I already know we are going to have a great time here. Bye and see you in Saint Tropez.

  1. Hotel Villa Marie, 1100 chemin de Val de Rian – 83350 Ramatuelle/Saint-Tropez. This is Danie's favorite hotel in the South of France. The location is breathtaking, the service outstanding, the food delicious, and the rooms fantastic. Jet stayed there during her fit-in-Trop session and she also fell in love with the place and danced in her room.

  1. Shop at Le Club 55, 43 Boulevard Patch, 83350 Ramatuelle. A must-visit for every boho and fashion lover. From amazing beach hats to pareos and colorful bags. Shop till you drop.

  1. Hotel La Réserve, Chemin de la Quessine, 83350 Ramatuelle. They have a fantastic spa, but if you want to do something more active, join one of the boot camps and explore the beautiful nature right away.

  1. Dinner at Le TIGrr, 14 Avenue Paul Signac, Cafe Hotel Ermitage, 83990 Saint-Tropez. They have super delicious Thai food (at some point, you are done with those mussels, right?) with a great view over St. Tropez. Here you can also perfectly people-watch and get inspired for your shopping session tomorrow.
