View Mediterranean on the mapA town of about 10,000 people where wealthy visitors from around the world gather; the gap between its small scale and its glamour is its hallmark. In summer it bustles with yachts and luxury brand shops, and a step off the main streets you can still find Provençal-style markets and cobblestone alleys. Because the pier is shallow, landing by tender boat is common.
