The village,
in tune with the seasons.
The Bravades in May, the Giraglia in June, the Ramatuelle Festival in August, the Voiles in late September. The gatherings that make the village breathe, told in full.
La Bravade des Espagnols
15 June, the second Tropezian Bravade. It marks the day in 1637 when 21 Spanish galleys sailed into the gulf and left with nothing.
Les Bravades de Saint-Tropez
16, 17 and 18 May, every year since 1558. Three days of costume, drums and musket fire. The one thing here that visitors watch rather than join.
The Place des Lices Provencal Market
Twice a week, all year round, the Place des Lices turns back into a real Provencal market. More than a hundred stalls under the plane trees, 8am to 1pm. Come before 10am.
Paradis Porsche
More than 500 Porsches on the harbour and the roads of the gulf, three days, free. Created in 1993, always the second weekend of October.
The Nioulargue, the story behind Les Voiles
Born of a bet in 1981, ended after a fatal accident in 1995, reborn as Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez in 1999. It no longer runs, but its course survives in the Club 55 Cup.
The Ramatuelle Festival
Around fifteen evenings of theatre, comedy and music in an open-air amphitheatre at 9.30pm. Created in 1985 in tribute to Gerard Philipe.
The Grande Braderie of Saint-Tropez
Three days in late October, close to 230 shops putting end-of-line stock out on the pavement. The whole village becomes one store.
Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez
Nine days, three hundred yachts, from century-old schooners to modern maxis. The Village des Voiles is free and open to all, 9am to 9pm. The finest week of the year.
The Liberation Fireworks
Contrary to what you read everywhere, they are fired on the evening of 14 August from the Mole Jean-Reveille, and they commemorate the Provence landings of 15 August 1944.
The Giraglia
Four days of inshore racing in the gulf, then 241 miles overnight to Corsica and Genoa. Born in 1953, it is the great race June visitors overlook.
The Saint-Tropez Polo Club
Four grass fields across a hundred hectares in Gassin, a season from April to September and Sunday matches often free to enter. The most overlooked activity on the peninsula.
Delices Sonores
One electronic night a year, outdoors, inside a seventeenth-century fortress overlooking the gulf. Created in 2015, 12th edition on 5 August 2026.
