Have you ever traveled with Le Collectionist?

Yes, we often stay at Villa de la Palme in Gassin, near Saint-Tropez! We love this house, it's such a special place with one of the best views of the Mediterranean you can imagine. We have a weakness for the colours of the façade, its yellow walls and its blue shutters perfectly capture the South of France.

Why spend your summers in the French Riviera?

For the sense of style, the relaxed atmosphere, the colours, the seaside and of course, nature.

What are your favourite activities in the French Riviera?

Taking walks to admire the beautiful villages and houses of the region.

Going to the Saint-Tropez market early in the morning, strolling through the old town, tasting a Saint-Tropez tart and having an aperitif on the terrace of the Café Sénéquier.
