Saint-Tropez. Heard in the night. I have no idea why. I am just Documenting. Saint-Tropez is located in Provence-Alpes-Côte dAzur. Saint-Tropez .... Motto[ edit]. Ad usque fidelis, Latin for Faithful to the end. St-Tropez acquired its name in AD 68 when a Roman officer named Torpes was beheaded on Nero’s orders in Pisa, and packed into a boat with a dog and a rooster to devour his remains. His headless corpse washed up here intact, leading the villagers to adopt him as their patron saint. For centuries St-Tropez remained a peaceful little fishing village, attracting painters like the pointillist Paul Signac, but few tourists. That changed dramatically in 1956 when Et Dieu Créa la Femme (And God Created Woman) was shot here starring Brigitte Bardot (aka BB), catapulting it into the international limelight. TORPES stems from TORPEO (Latin) Pronunciation (Classical): IPA: /ˈtor.pe.oː/ Verb I am stiff, numb, torpid or motionless. I am stupefied or astounded. I am inactive or listless. In Spanish torpe means Sheepish or shy. To shy to get the work done.
