Saint Tropez is the dreaming spot of the French Riviera with its colorful little harbor, its luxury villas, its billionaires yachts, and the soul of the artists such as Picasso, Vian, Duke Ellington, and later Brigitte Bardot that highly contributed to its notoriety. Yet, Mr Tuveri, the mayor of Saint Tropez since 2008 reminds that the economy of this village has not always been based on tourism, trade and luxury real estate speculation… “After the World War II, Saint-Tropez was a proletarians village and people voted Communist," he recalls. At the time, the backbone of the local economy was a torpedo factory that most of Tropéziens worked. French TV broadcast france2.fr/emissions/infrarouge/videos/88068551 takes a hard look at this mythical village which is today in the hands of a few rich businessmen, and how speculation has finally made clear Saint- Tropez of its inhabitants… Sad !
