She lived in seclusion at La Madrague, devoted to animal welfare, far from the excesses of the jet set and the bling-bling atmosphere. \u201cOn the deserted beach. Shells and crustaceans\u2026\u201d These lyrics resonate here with a particular melancholy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Those nostalgic for the New Wave and the carefree years prefer to stay in Saint-Tropez outside the summer madness.

The sun is gentle, the water is a pleasant temperature, and the restaurant terraces breathe.
