St. Tropez

This year we decided to take a day trip to St. Tropez, a once-quiet fishing village turned into jet setter / tourist hot spot. We were there on a Tuesday in April and there were still hordes of tourists (the picture below was taken during lunchtime when there were relatively few people out on the streets).

French film buffs will recognize the gendarmerie below from the Louis de Funès film Le gendarme de Saint-Tropez.

There's plenty of shopping to be done from High Street...

...to high end
