Saint Tropez

The days continue to be picture perfect. After a day of boating and, we have to confess, more eating, we take a short drive from St Maxime to St Tropez. 

The trip is s brief 10 minutes by boat or 20 minutes by car. But the "season" here has just begun, so 20 minutes can easily turn into 60!

St Tropez is a sun kissed peach colored stone village along the French Mediterranean Sea. Boaters know it for its protected harbour, iconic lighthouse and selection of ships of all sizes. 

Beyond "ship watching" is St. Tropez' famous people watching. We did a bit of both by the harbour.

Then made our way up winding cobbled streets to the village and park above. Families watch as men play boules. A cleverly uniformed band marches by, we're not certain where to or from. A carousel rests after a day of young people on school holiday. Fashionable stores abound along with petite restaurants tucked into the small side cobbled lanes along the way. Everyone seems remarkably relaxed and understated. And what better way for Steve to end a day than sharing an ice cream with Xander!
