St. Tropez nightlife
St. Tropez parties late, which is to say all night long. First come drinks after dinner, then everyone migrates to Les Caves du Roy to see who's around, and then maybe the slightly friskier Papagayo, where it's common to buy a $400 bottle of Champagne and spray it over the crowd.
