Inspiring instagrams #SaintTropez

You can't help but be impressed by the sleek and shiny yachts that line the harbour of Saint-Tropez and with the beautiful rows of yellow and cream coloured buildings behind there is not a bad time of day to take a snap. The first morning light casts a brilliant light on them and the early evening sun makes them simply glow. Or better still, book yourself a yacht charter, take to the open seas and take your snaps from onboard one of these beauties.

The historic towers of Saint Tropez have an idyllic setting right on the coast. Due to numerous attacks St Tropez became well-fortified early on in its history. Originally, four towers were built to protect the coast and the port: the Tour du Portalet, the Tour la Vieille, the Tour de Suffren, now lost, and the Tour Jarlier. The most central one, is to be found on Rue Jarlier. This structure, built a little later than the others, dates from the 16th century and sits upon a street which is of considerable architectural interest.

You can't leave France and Saint Tropez without a picture of a chateau and Le Chateau de la Motte offers the perfect photo opportunity. Set in lush green parkland, this castle represents an incredible element of Saint Tropez's natural heritage. Built in 1856 by the Martin de Roquebrune family, listed as one of the most important families of the nobility, the chateau is typical of the grand stately home style that was popular at the time.

The Place des Lices market in the heart of Saint Tropez offers up the typical and traditional Provencal market experience. With buckets of succulent olives, the freshest of fruit and the ripest of tomatoes, this market is a treat for any budding photographer. For the sweeter side of life then a visit to La Tarte Tropezienne Patisserie give you the chance to snap and snack at the same on St Tropez's most famous pastry.

Some of the most dramatic coastal scenery can be found along from Saint Raphael. Les Calanques de l'Esterel offer an interesting contrast between the red rock sea cliff, the green shrubbery above and the turquoise nad azure blues of the Mediterranean sea. Almost unnatural looking, you will definitely be tagging this one #NoFilter.

Another astounding colour contrast can be seen on the three Iles d'Or; Ile de Porquerolles is the largest and most visited. With the water colour being a bright turquoise blue against the white sand you could easily be forgiven for thinking that you are in the Caribbean.

For that classic view of the long white stretch of sand that is the infamous Pampelonne beach, why not take a drive or a hike to the lighthouse on Cap Camarat. This wonderful area of natural and rugged landscape offers wonderful panoramic views of the bay of Pampelonne as well as plenty of opportunities to enjoy the local wildlife...

No trip to Saint Tropez would be complete with a snap of a superyacht, shining in the sunshine, water lapping gently and maybe a glimpse of the rich and famous who are aboard. Nowhere says 'St Tropez' more than the red awnings of Senequier restaurant. Whether with a champagne in hand, a sports car in the background or a superyacht bobbing by...people where know exactly where you've been on holiday.
