Plage de Tahiti, Saint-Tropez, France
View Original Description
This beach was popularised in the film And God Created Woman with Brigitte Bardot. The beach is accessed by heading to the Bay of Pampelonne and walking to the northern section of Pampelonne Beach. It is accessible via an unpaved road.
A previous mayor of Saint-Tropez ordered police to ban toplessness and to watch over the beach via helicopter. The "clothing fights" between the gendarmerie and nudists become the main topic of a famous French comedy film series, Le gendarme de Saint-Tropez (The Troops of St. Tropez) featuring Louis de Funès. In the end, the nudist side prevailed. Topless sunbathing is now the norm for both men and women from Pampelonne beaches to yachts in the centre of Saint-Tropez port. The Tahiti beach is now clothing-optional, but nudists often head to private nudist beaches, such as that in Cap d'Agde.
