St. Tropez...

Last day in St. Tropez... Time goes by so fast...
It's really a unique and amazing place! An exclusive port, miles and miles of beaches, one of the most important vacation spots in the Côte d'Azur.
And the truth is, it's delicious to spend your holidays in St. Tropez... Walk along the seaport in the morning, sit by the Sennequier to see people walk by or discover new ships arriving, drink mint with ice cubes or stroll around its beautiful little streets, where you'll find the most prestigious brands: Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Roberto Cavalli, Lanvin, Dior. Not to mention the classic Tropezian stores, such as Ananda or Alix, where they sell the typical must-haves: bikinis, flip flops, sandals, jewelry... everything very bright and colorful. The minimal look does not work here and does not look good either!
After shopping, it's time for the beaches... by ship, even better!
The most famous and beautiful beaches are those of the Pampelonne. And the most popular restaurants are La Voile Rouge, the Club 55 and Niou Largo. La Voile Rouge is the craziest one, the favorite spot for all those Russian and American millionaires (are there still?) who love splashing one another  with champagne and improvising parties by hopping on top of their tables, dancing wild to loud music. On Sunday 4th I've been to one of those parties... it was Independence Day and there were pirate costumes, beautiful girls and lots of champagne... I, who hate the smell of champagne, ended up completely soaked and had to dip in the sea!
Club 55 is quieter, serves great food and you can bump into Hollywood stars, financiers, millionaires and other famous people.
Niou Largo has two restaurants, one of which serves oriental food.
Lunches last till 5 pm and then it's time to nap by the beach or on the ship. Before heading back home, it's welcome to stop by the seaport to check the activities for the evening.
And then, you have to get ready for the night, which in St. Tropez are usually very long...
There's many parties and dinners and two popular bars: "Les Caves de Roi" and "Le V.I.P. Room." I went to none of them so I can't tell you about them... but I've been told it gets wild!
Voilà my small description of St. Trop...
