Each period of the year reveals a special atmosphere and invites you to discover Saint-Tropez from multiple angles, through memorable moments.
Spring, a season of traditions, gastronomy and regattas
In spring, the village lives to the rhythm of its traditions and events eagerly awaited by both locals and visitors alike. Les Bravades, a historic celebration in honour of the patron saint, fills the narrow streets with the sound of blunderbusses and brings the population together for a moment that is central to local identity. The season also celebrates gastronomy with Les Chefs fêtent les Producteurs, a series of convivial gatherings that showcase local expertise, produce and the relationship between chefs and producers.
On the water, the first regattas herald the return of nautical activity, with Loro Piana Giraglia, a major international event that brings the port and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez to life, while the more intimate Les Voiles Latines (Latin Sails) remind us of Saint-Tropez’s attachment to its maritime traditions and the sailing of yesteryear.
Summer in Saint-Tropez, between entertainment and the good life
Summer evenings prolong the excitement with a varied cultural programme, hosted by iconic venues such as Le Château de la Moutte and La Citadelle de Saint-Tropez. Concerts, festivals and musical events, such as Les Nuits du Château de la Moutte, Isabelle Festival and Les Délices Sonores, punctuate the season, highlighted by the eagerly awaited fireworks displays on 14 July and 15 August.
