With the new season of The White Lotus fuelling fresh wanderlust for decadent European escapes, Saint-Tropez feels like it’s set to have another moment. The rumour mill links future filming to the hilltop splendour of Airelles Château de la Messardière — the sort of place where you half expect a scandalous dinner scene to unfold over champagne and sea views.
Getting there has also just become easier for Londoners. A new direct route from London City Airport to Toulon Saint-Tropez means you can swap Canary Wharf for the Côte d’Azur in a little over two hours.
