You always hear about Saint Tropez being the holiday destination of the rich and famous, but a recent WSJ article by Brigid Grauman had some good tips for the rest of us.  She recommended these three beach clubs in particular for a relaxing day: La Cabane Bambou, Aqua Club, Nioulargo. 

Saint Tropez is only a few kilometers away from many of the Provencial vineyards and wineries We recommend a stop in Aix-en-Provence and continuing down the road to Châteauneuf du Pape.
