Bagatelle Saint-Tropez: Where Riviera Chic Meets Revelry

Set just moments from the sparkling Pampelonne shoreline, Bagatelle Saint-Tropez is a decadent daytime affair blending laid-back French elegance with full-throttle joie de vivre.

This is not just a restaurant—it's theatre. Whether you're arriving for a long lunch or a lively late afternoon, Bagatelle embodies Saint-Tropez’s soul: indulgent, stylish, and unapologetically fun. It’s no wonder it’s regarded as one of the best restaurants in Saint-Tropez.
