In the South of France, glamour is a fact of life and jetsetting is a word that has been ingrained in the vocabulary of the international elite since as early as the 1960s. In Saint-Tropez in particular, that glamour is amplified by old world charm on the stone-filled streets in the La Ponche quarter, wooden yachts that line up in the Vieux Port, and a slew of designer outposts along narrow walkways that fit in so well that for a second you confuse Georges Clemenceau for being Saint-Germain-Des-Prés…

Just a quick update from the bright and colorful Antibes. Sarah and I are currently in the South of France continuing our holiday together and there is no other preferred holiday spot (IMO) than Antibes. It is simply perfect here; it’s posh, civilized, and the most relaxing spot in the SOF. I’m sure you have seen on my Instagram stories our check-ins, pillow fights, and tennis outings from The Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, but if you haven’t been following along, we have had such an enjoyable past few days...
