You have arrived at La Ponche, a 5-star hotel in the heart of the village of Saint-Tropez. With your car parked in our parking lot, a small Piaggio takes you one minute away to the cove that the hotel overlooks. We will set up your suitcases in one of our 21 authentic and refined rooms and 3 appartments. The most striking views are over the bay of Saint-Tropez. At the piano bar, where Boris Vian's trumpet and Bardot's laughter resounded, people dance to the rhythm of French songs. The Provençal restaurant, with a Mediterranean touch, extends from the terrace to the sea. From the pontoon you can enjoy the cove of La Ponche. An enchanting setting to let go, meditate, practice yoga in the Spa, before reconnecting to the energy of Saint-Tropez.

The restaurant, designed by Chef Thomas Danigo and run by Marine Bon Mugnaïni, offers cuisine inspired by regional produce. Authentic dishes thanks to rigorous sourcing from the best local producers. Its private dining room is decorated with handmade paintings depicting Saint-Tropez and the famous thirteen desserts of Provencal tradition. The terrace overlooking the sea is lulled by the lapping of the Nouvelle Vague. As for the bar, its history goes back to 1949. Boris Vian annexed an adjoining barn to create the Saint-Germain-des-Prés-La Ponche piano bar. Years later, Roger Vadim set the scene for his film Et Dieu... créa la femme. The famous black and white chequered floor perpetuates the festive, light-hearted spirit of La Ponche. The bar has a huge fireplace and deep armchairs for those who want to extend the evening.
