You can drink your champagne in Saint-Tropez, or you can spray it on your friends at Nikki Beach, one of the quintessential see-and-be-seen beach clubs in the French Riviera.  If you've had too much champagne the night before, then maybe you can just nap on the beaches of the Bay of Pampelonne. That is, after you wash down your lunch with a few bottles of rosé at Club 55, the chicest beach restaurant in the Mediterranean.   

Ahhh, St Tropez. This is where God Created Woman (well, that ideal of women, Brigitte Bardot) and now is where the European jet set parties the summer away. Everyone from Bono to P. Diddy and Pam Anderson has partied there, and this is where Mick Jagger married Bianca. If you aren't staying on a billionaire's yacht moored in the harbour, the best place to call home is the Byblos St Tropez. The hotel is about to celebrate its 40th anniversary and to celebrate it in style, Byblos St Tropez will be hosting a series of events, including a pool side concert, and will also unveil a major refurbishment. Look out for a new in-house lothario as well- Largo Winch.  This comic book character, a "millionaire in blue jeans,” is the creation of Jean Van Hamme.  In celebration of the hotel's anniversary, Van Hamme has created a new series that is set on the Côte d'Azur, and more specifically at the Hotel Byblos and in Les Caves du Roy. Hotel Byblos, Avenue Paul Signac 83990 Saint-Tropez, France, Phone: 334 94 56 68 00.
