The History of Saint-Tropez

Source: www.ot-saint-tropez.com. Posted on 05 December 2004.

The town of Saint-Tropez stands at the end of a wild Peninsula, overlooking a bay bearing its name. Its history is exceptionally rich in high feats of arms and historical events.

In ancient times, Saint-Tropez was populated by Phoenicians who set up anchorages along the coast to facilitate their commercial navigation. Amongst these was the Antique town of Athenopolis which was perhaps situated on the emplacement of the present town of Saint-Tropez.
