Here you are on Rue de la Ponche, one of the most evocative streets in old Saint-Tropez. Everything here recalls the village as it once was, narrow alleyways, sun-faded facades, and that postcard-like atmosphere. This was once the fishermen’s quarter, the beating heart of the town, always turned toward the sea. Walk down and you’ll already glimpse the blue of the Mediterranean at the end of the cobblestones. In the 1950s, this quiet setting suddenly became world famous when Roger Vadim filmed scenes of And God Created Woman here with Brigitte Bardot. From then on, La Ponche entered legend, its unpretentious charm drawing artists, writers, and celebrities alike. Just steps away, the Hôtel La Ponche became the place to stay, hosting the likes of Françoise Sagan, Romy Schneider, and Gunter Sachs. Yet beyond its star-studded past, this street still preserves the soul of old Saint-Tropez, a mix of intimacy, authenticity, and that ever-present view of the sea.
