saint-tropez, france

Chabrol frequently explored the dark underbelly of French coastal communities and bourgeois life in works set along the Côte d'Azur, capturing the tension between surface beauty and moral complexity in places like Saint-Tropez.

Varda's observational lens and films about French Riviera life, particularly her interest in ordinary people and bohemian culture, deeply engaged with the spirit and transformation of Saint-Tropez during the 1960s and beyond.
