Customer Reviews

Rustic, refined, relaxed.

I liked "Houses of Saint-Tropez" by Marie Bariller very much and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in interior design, seaside retreats, France or all of the above. The houses shown in the book are quite different from each other. Some of them are simple family vacation retreats, others luxury villas or, even, several houses of some historical value such as the former house of artist Paul Signac or German manufacturer Baron Van Opel or actress Romy Schneider. There is even a very interesting story of a yacht. But there is one thing common to all these places: whether simple or luxurious, they all are both elegant and relaxed. Beautiful photography by Thomas Dhellemes.

Beautiful images

This book is full of beautiful images and you really can dream to stay there, in these magnificent villas, breathing the Provence air and earing the sound of the waves. It describes very well the atmosphere of St.Tropez.

Escape to the South of France

I just love looking through books like this with photos and descriptions of unique houses. This one profiles 23 vacation homes, cottages and mansions. Some are modern, others charm with their bohemian style or Moroccan style. Don't miss the sailboat that was owned at one time by Errol Flynn. This book has beautiful homes with a special character that is Saint-Tropez plus lovely waterfront views, and bits of history to draw you into the spirit of the place.
