LUXURY TRAVEL: St Tropez

It all started with F. Scott Fitzgerald in the Twenties ...then came Brigitte Bardot and her bikini. After that the flamboyant and fabulous flocked to a tiny town the French Riviera and made the name Saint Tropez synonymous with all things glamorous - and sexy. How could the celebrities of the world resist a destination that was more famous than they were? They just couldn't keep away, especially since it is just down the road from the annual Cannes film festival.  As well as BB, Michael Caine, Sting, Elton John, Dustin Hoffman, The Beckhams Jerry Hall, Heidi Klum, Jack Nicholson ... and a host of others have bare-d their flesh, and their souls, in St Trop. God created Woman - and her jewelled Manolo-sandalled stomping ground was Saint Tropez.

Running from 25 November 2011 to 31 January 2012 at Sofitel Wentworth Sydney and Sofitel on Collins in Melbourne, 'Star Spotting in Saint-Tropez' presented by Saint-Tropez Tourisme, with Air France and Atout France, is a photographic exhibition of the world's biggest stars stripping off and sunbaking in this iconic beach side town. The Luxury Travel Bible gives you an early sneak peak. www.sofitel.com
