History

Citadel of Saint-Tropez

In 599 BC, thePhocaeansfromIoniafounded Massilia (present-dayMarseille) and established other coastal mooring sites in the area. Through the writings of Roman historian and military commanderPliny the Elder,it was found that Saint-Tropez was known in ancient times as Athenopolis and that it belonged to the Massilians.[6]In 31 BC, the Romans invaded the region. Their citizens built many opulent villas in the area, including one known as the "Villa des Platanes" (Villa of thePlane Trees). The closest settlement to Saint-Tropez in antiquity is attested as Heraclea-Caccabaria, todayCavalaire-sur-Mer,situated on the southern end of the peninsula, while the gulf of Saint-Tropez was calledsinus Sambracitanus,which likely survives in the settlement name ofLes Issambres.[7]

The town owes its current name to the early ChristianmartyrSaint Torpes.Legend tells of hisdecapitationatPisaduringNero's reign, with his body placed in a rotten boat along with aroosterand adog.The body purportedly landed at the present-day location of the town of Saint-Tropez.[8][9][10]

Toward the end of the ninth century, long after the fall of theRoman Empirein the West, pirates and privateers began a hundred years of attacks and sackings. In the tenth century, the village ofLa Garde-Freinetwas founded 15 km (9 mi) to the north of Saint-Tropez. From 890 to 972, Saint-Tropez and its surroundings became an Arab Muslim colony dominated by the nearbySaracenicsettlement ofFraxinet;[11][12]in 940, Saint-Tropez was controlled by Nasr ibn Ahmad.[12]From 961 to 963,Adalbert,son ofBerengar,the pretender to the throne of Lombardy who was pursued byOtto I,hid at Saint-Tropez.[12]In 972, the Muslims of Saint-Tropez heldMaïeul,the abbot of Cluny, for ransom.[12]

In 976,William I,Count of Provence,Lord ofGrimaud,began attacking the Muslims, and in 980 he built a tower where the Suffren tower now stands. In 1079 and 1218,Papal bullsmentioned the existence of a manor at Saint-Tropez.

Saint-Tropez "le vieux port" (the old port)

From 1436, CountRené I(the "good King René" ) tried to repopulate Provence. He created the Barony of Grimaud and appealed to theGenoanRaphael de Garezzio, a wealthy gentleman who had sent a fleet ofcaravelscarrying 60 Genoese families to the area. In return, Count René promised to exempt the citizens from taxation. On 14 February 1470,Jean de Cossa,Baron of Grimaud and Grand Seneschal of Provence, agreed that the Genoan could build city walls and two large towers, which still stand: one tower is at the end of the Grand Môle and the other is at the entrance to the Ponche.

The city became a smallrepublicwith its own fleet and army and was administered by two consuls and 12 elected councillors. In 1558, the city's captain Honorat Coste was empowered to protect the city. The captain led a militia and mercenaries who successfully resisted attacks by the Turks and Spanish, succoredFréjusandAntibesand helped the Archbishop ofBordeauxregain control of theLérins Islands.

In 1577, the daughter of the Marquis Lord of Castellane, Genevieve de Castilla, married Jean-Baptiste de Suffren, Marquis de Saint-Cannet, Baron deLa Môle,and advisor to the parliament of Provence. The lordship of Saint-Tropez became the prerogative of the De Suffren family. One of the most notable members of this family was the later vice-admiralPierre André de Suffrende Saint-Tropez (1729–1788), veteran of theWar of the Austrian Succession,theSeven Years' Warand theAmerican Revolutionary War.

In September 1615, Saint-Tropez was visited by a delegation led by the JapanesesamuraiHasekura Tsunenagathat was on its way to Rome but was forced by weather to stop in the town. This may have been the firstcontact between the French and the Japanese.

Bust of Saint-Tropez during theBravades

The local noblemen were responsible for raising an army that repulsed a fleet of Spanish galleons on 15 June 1637;Les Bravades des Espagnols,a local religious and military celebration, commemorates this victory of the Tropezianmilitia.[13]Count René's promise in 1436 to not tax the citizens of Saint-Tropez was honored until 1672, whenLouis XIVabrogated it as he imposed French control.

The Gulf of Saint-Tropez was known as the Gulf ofGrimauduntil the end of the 19th century.

During the 1920s, Saint-Tropez attracted famous figures from the fashion world such asCoco ChanelandElsa Schiaparelli.DuringWorld War II,the landing on 15 August 1944 began the Allied invasion of southern France,Operation Dragoon.In the 1950s, Saint-Tropez became internationally renowned as the setting for such films asAnd God Created Woman,which starred French actressBrigitte Bardot.

In May 1965, anAérospatiale Super Frelonpre-production aircraft crashed in the gulf, killing its pilot.

On 4 March 1970, the French submarineEurydice,with its home port as Saint-Tropez, disappeared in the Mediterranean with 57 crew aboard after a mysterious explosion.

The motto of Saint-Tropez isAd usque fidelis,Latinfor "faithful to the end". After the Dark Age of plundering the French Riviera, Raphaël de Garesio landed in Saint-Tropez on 14 February 1470, with 22 men, simple peasants or sailors who had left the overcrowded Italian Riviera. They rebuilt and repopulated the area, and in exchange were granted by a representative of the "good king", Jean de Cossa, Baron of Grimaud and Seneschal of Provence, various privileges, including some previously reserved exclusively for lords, such as exemptions from taxes status and the right to bear arms. About ten years later, a great wall with towers stood watch to protect the new houses from sea and land attack; some 60 families formed the new community. On 19 July 1479, the new Home Act was signed, "the rebirth charter of Saint-Tropez".[14]
