Chateau Hotel De La Messardière

It took up so much of my hotel money, but I could not resist. This beautiful castle turned Hotel sits on top of a hill with views of everything. Not to mention all of it's luxurious amenities.

The Sites
***********

One of the sites that I saw: The Grimaud Castle ruins.

Grimaud is a Medieval perched village overlooking the bright blue bay of the Golfe de Saint Tropez, dominated by the striking ruins of the 11th-century chateau at the top. The village is situated at the Mediterranean edge of the Massif des Maures, forested hills that stretch southwest to Pierrefeu-du-Var and Hyères and northeast towards Frejus. The twisty D558 road that connects the Golfe de St Tropez with with the interior goes across the Maures past La Garde-Freinet, through forests of cork oak, chestnut and pine. The even smaller twisty D14 road goes west from Grimaud through the hills to Collobrières, passing near the Chartreuse de la Verne.
Each year, in early October, a regatta is held in the bay of Saint-Tropez (Les Voiles de St. Tropez). This is a draw for many yachts, some up to 50 metres in length. Many tourists come to the location for this event or as a stop on their trip to Cannes, Marseille or Nice.

I ate lunch here at this outdoor cafe. From here
I could see the people
everywhere. Walking and shopping.

I even caught a glimpse of Jennifer Lopez
while she was shopping.

This was my favorite part of my visit.
Celebrities Everywhere.
It's not very often that you get to see movie stars making fools of themselves.
Great little video of Keanu Reeves here.
Made me laugh.







Apparently Sean "Puffy" Combs was having a big party.
Lucky me, I visited at just the right time.

And later that night I got really lucky. I made
friends with a local girl, Sadie.
She was able get me into this amazingclub.
