In August, the port of Saint-Tropez was packed with superyachts at every berth. Mrs. C stepped off the Dassault Falcon 8X — the Mediterranean breeze carried the scent of pine and lavender. She landed at Nice Côte d'Azur FBO, and a helicopter delivered her to Saint-Tropez in 40 minutes — a full hour faster than driving.
She and three friends had planned a week on the Riviera. Everything arranged by her iFlyPlus advisor: tonight's beach dinner at Club 55, tomorrow's pool party at a Ramatuelle villa, the day after snorkeling on Porquerolles Island by yacht. Everything unhurried — that's the St Tropez rhythm. Time here isn't meant to be chased; it's meant to be savored.

Why St Tropez Is the World's Elite Summer Home
Saint-Tropez isn't just a town on the French Riviera — it's the shared summer social code of old money and new wealth worldwide. Since Brigitte Bardot filmed here in the 1950s, this former fishing village has been the informal capital of global glamour.
