In the fifties and sixties, Brigitte Bardot was one of the most attractive and erotic women in the world. Known as BB by the press, she had her international breakthrough with the film Et Dieu… créa la femme . Throughout her career, Brigitte Bardot started in fifteen films, became actively involved in animal rights and belonged to one of the greatest actresses ever to appear at the Cannes Film Festival.
During her career, Brigitte Bardot lived mainly in Saint-Tropez, in contrast to most other film stars who preferred lying near Monte Carlo. Simply due to her presence, the sleepy fishing village of Saint-Tropez became an internationally watched town. Brigitte Bardot is widely regarded as the person who put Saint-Tropez on the map.
Saint-Tropez has for so long been the playground of princesses, pop stars, gold diggers and sugar daddies. Celebrities come and go, Diddy parties, Lagerfeld shoots, but still, thousands of celebrities combined can’t quite bring back the cheekiness, the elegance, the sexiness, and everything that Brigitte Bardot once was.
Moving on, really, nobody does Saint-Tropez better?

On a lighter note, guess who resides near the ever glamorous beach?
