Saint Tropez
Saint-Tropez is a commune of the Var département in southern France, located on the French Riviera. The seaside resort town Saint Tropez is still very popular with the tourists famous and wealthy. Set on the lovely blue water of the Bay of Saint-Tropez, this modern version of a medieval town is most popular for the line of yachts along the quai, and the facing line of terrace cafés, divided by a parade of strolling tourists and slow cruising expensive cars.
Saint-Tropez was the antique Athenopolis, or Heraclea Caccabaris, the name used again by the Thermidoriens in 1793. In "modern" times, the town was listed as Ecclesia Sancti Torpetis in 1055, named after one of Nero's centurians who was beheaded in Pisa for the sake of his religion. Torpès' body and his head, along with a dog and a cock, was placed in a boat and set adrift. The dog and cock were intended to devour the man's remains, but he was still intact, so to speak, when the boat came ashore where the town of St Tropez stands today. The current name of Saint Tropez came after the Revolution.
Weather conditions in St Tropez are almost perfect year-round. Even when rainfall does occur, it doesn’t usually set in for long and visitors can be sure that most days of their holiday will be sunny. Temperatures do not fluctuate greatly during the year, with the town escaping the searing heat of summer and cold damp winters that characterise some other Mediterranean locations.

I think that the best hotel in Saint Tropez is Byblos Hotel.
