Since then, this success has not tarnished and Saint-Trop 'continues to attract people from all over the world, from actors to politicians, by way of the stars of the small screen or French series. The owners of luxurious yachts also like to make the onlookers admire their last maritime acquisition that anchors in the port. At Saint-Trop ', simplicity is out of place.
