Aston Martin DB7 life in St Tropez

We made it to our Mediterranean destination and spent a week based in an AirBnB apartment in the Old Town of St Tropez. MoneyPenny was in very good company with a lot of beautiful prestige cars in town. Mostly these were new Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches driven by young rich dudes but there was much respect and many thumbs up, smiles and nods of approvals for our dear DB7 girl who was unique in town. She was a great match for the glamour of the super-yachts!

If you are staying in St Tropez there are two very good underground carparks - the Parking des Lices and the Parking Foch. These will cost you around 30-40 euros per day and it can get very busy on market days and weekends. We found that the Foch parking area was smaller, cooler, cleaner and less busy and MoneyPenny was in very good company with numerous prestige cars there - some under covers long-term.

It was very hot and we had an issue with our rear-view mirror falling off the windscreen in the heat! A trip to the supermarket was needed and glue duly purchased.

St Tropez has a great vibe, beautiful beaches, great food and shopping but is on the pricey end of the spectrum. We leave our hats, beach chairs, towels and umbrellas in MoneyPenny's boot each year and are ready to go each time we return! We highly recommend this part of the world for touring and holidaying. This year we also explored the hilltop villages of Ramatouille and Gassin as well as a ferry trip from St Tropez to Sainte Maxime. The towns in the Gulf of St Tropez and really well-connected by a regular ferry service.

Farewell for now to this beautiful part of the world...but we'll be back!!!!
