christmas break is nearly upon us and if one could dream up the ideal destination to spend the holidays, well that’s easy for me — the very charming and petit in the south of france would do quite nicely, thank you (santa, are you listening?). is the smallest and most secret of the 5-star seaside hotels in Saint-Tropez, on the legendary Ponche beach on the french riviera and though it just reopened in june after some beautiful renovations, this quaint boutique hotel was actually built in 1938 and has a history of hosting a legion of interesting guests like artist Picasso, famous writers and plenty of filmmakers — in fact, each of its 21 rooms and suites is named after well-known guests (like the who filmed on the beach out front) and there’s even a chic private apartment if you and your entourage require a bit more spacious accommodations. we’re going to get our best french girl mix & match ensemble packed so we’re ready for anything. for evening soirees, a slinky , but paired with a classic tied at the waist and the predictable but oh so chic , and a pair of . for daytime, mix these up with some well-cut , a very french , and some sporty . on top of all that will add in a splash of sunny saint-tropez . while in France, why not brush up on Ernest Hemingway’s ? Written during the last years of his life these memories as an unknown writer living in Paris in the twenties are deeply personal and full of wit.
