Saint-Tropez - Where the Fabulously Rich Party



My husband and I can officially say that we drove through the length of the French and Italian Rivieras.  We have seen the beautiful communes, towns and cities of Cote d' Azur in France and the towns and cities of Italy starting from Ventimiglia and finally exiting to the highway in Livorno.

I have some favorite spots where it is free to park and spend the night and where the view is fabulous and the sea is in all shades of blue.  I even have gps locations but I will blog about it later.



The night we were in Saint-Tropez, all seemingly brand new, beautiful, shiny, huge yachts are there parked right in the main street where people walk and the famous bars and restaurants are located.  There were about a dozen of them and I know from what I already saw the past weeks that these are the superstars of all yachts.

A week or so later, after seeing the yachts in Cannes, France and Monaco, it was confirmed, what we saw in Saint-Tropez were the finest babies of all yachts.



One yacht even has a mean-looking, Russian-looking, unsmiling big hunk of a guard.  Some yacht owners and guests were dining, drinking and partying right there on their decks in front of the common people watching them.  Some uniformed yachts crew were visible while tending to the yachts requirements and some were serving dinner and wine to their rich and famous bosses.

Saint-Tropez is a fun place to walk late at night and people watch.  It was alive with a lot of people at 10pm, restaurants were full and when we left at 1130pm, it was still busy and parties was definitely just beginning.
