Visitor's guide to St. Tropez

Bardot became an international sex symbol (more famous for her pouty lips and coiff than her on-screen performances), while the quaint French fishing village transformed into jetsetter's row. Known as a go-to haunt for the beautiful people - aka celebrities, super- models and moguls - St. Tropez also has become a lifestyle brand for everything from sandals to tanning products to swimsuit styles. Located in the heart of St. Tropez, this 12-room luxury hotel provides everything a demanding diva or picky Paul could request, including a full spa, room service, state-of-the-art gym and private pool (note: only hotel guests are allowed during sunning hours). Each suite has its own miniature Assouline library as well as a minikitchen, espresso machine, plasma TV, iPod station, outdoor patio and Herm�s body products. Make a 9 p.m. dinner reservation so you have a primo bottle popping position once the DJ starts spinning around 11:30 p.m. (Tip: only wear your sky-high Louboutins if they're steady enough for tabletop dancing.) Place de L'Hotel de Ville. Nosh on the fresh Dover sole and crabmeat salad before taking a dip into the Mediterranean (warning: the water is a bit colder than the Gulf) or enjoy the bikini models showing off resort wear and furs sold at the on-site boutique. The ginourmous King Kong and sumo wrestler statues make for an interesting conversation piece and photo opportunity; Route de l'Epi. An all-time favorite among hipsters such as Sienna Miller, Chloe Sevigny and even Drake (yes, they have gear for the guys), stop in to pick up a tribal batik scarf or a cashmere-distressed T-shirt for the ultimate rich-hippie look. Arrive in St. Tropez Merecedes style with Monte Carlo Limousine www.monte-carlolimousine.mc (they even offer the Pullman stretch) for an hour and a half chauffeured experience or if you want to play ball with the BBs (billionaire boys) then off to the helioport you go via Heli Securite www.helicopter-saint-tropez.com for only a 15 minute flight.
