Highlights

Originally a modest fishing village, it gained fame in the late 19th century when artists like Paul Signac discovered its charm, later becoming a hotspot for celebrities and the jet set, particularly after the release of the film “And God Created Woman” in 1956, which starred Brigitte Bardot. While it attracts the wealthy with exclusive boutiques and vibrant nightlife, it also retains its quaint character with narrow streets and traditional eateries, nestled between beautiful beaches such as the famous Pampelonne and the Provencal countryside.
