Things to do in St Tropez

Play "petanque" with the locals! It's that naive 2-year-old bowls game, but they really seem to have a ritual about it in Place des Lices in late May. Or, you can just spend a quiet afternoon in a cafe, embraced by the century-old plane trees-the city can truly convey that atmosphere of a Provencal village. On the other hand, it's a mix of old charm and bustling life: don't forget the boutiques and dancing places...the city is said to have lost his tranquille appereance after they filmed "And God created the Woman" in 1956, starring Brigitte Bardot.
