Indulge in exquisite seafood delicacies, savor delicious cocktails, and soak in the spirit of the sixties, all while basking in the most enchanting bay views.
Reinvigorated, we cast off towards the verdant oasis of the Lerins Islands. Off the coast of Cannes lies the secluded isle of Sainte-Marguerite, where the jewel in the culinary crown, La Guérite, is situated. This hidden culinary paradise is renowned for its impeccable marriage of fresh local ingredients and culinary finesse. Settle your toes in the sand, feel the cool sea breeze on your face, and lose yourself in a sensory feast that celebrates the essence of Mediterranean cuisine.
Navigating further along the stunning coastline, we are drawn towards the ultimate symbol of seaside glamour, St. Tropez. But not before we immerse ourselves in the beachside nirvana that is Pampelonne Beach. Among its vibrant beach clubs, Club 55 undoubtedly steals the limelight. From its humble origins as a local tropezienne eatery, it has metamorphosed into the epitome of beachfront luxury. Club 55 exudes an undying allure, welcoming the world's elite with its effortlessly chic ambiance. Sample the delectably understated menu, where the focus remains on the fresh, vibrant flavors of local produce, a testament to the treasures of the region.
As we finally dock at St. Tropez, we are greeted by the spectacle of its yacht-filled harbor and maze-like, vibrant streets. This glamorous old town serves as the perfect crescendo to our journey of indulgence. With the sun setting over the shimmering seascape, we paint the town red, exploring the exhilarating nightlife. Dance the night away at Les Caves du Roy, where the champagne flows freely, and the night is always young.
