Epi St Tropez: 3 Things To Not Miss

September is certainly the best month to visit St Tropez. The crowd has left and the weather is still gorgeous. The temperature of the Mediterranean Sea is also very pleasant. Enjoy the world famous French southeast village in the most exclusive St Tropez property.  

Legendary hotel-club EPI was founded in 1959 by Jean Castel. The place has known the most iconic actors of the era: Brigitte Bardot, Alain Delon, Romy Schneider... In 2018,  the exclusive club was bought by American family McCourt. Interior designer Monica Damonte and Californian landscaper Madison Cox transformed the property in a dreamlike secluded nest. You will feel that laid back vibe which reflects the Mediterranean area. 

 3 things to Not Miss :

 1-Overindulge in tennis lessons with coach Christophe Fournerie. Former top level player and trainer of players like  Amelie Mauresmo, he will make you push your limits. Sweating assured. Two tennis courts have been freshly resurfaced with synthetic clay. There you will come across world tennis legend John McEnroe, who sponsored the tennis club. 

 2-Indulge in timeless relaxation. Nestled at the end of Pampelonne beach in the middle of sand beaches, palm trees, Mediterranean nature.  Relaxation has been the focal point of the club. Whatever your needs are, you will be satisfied by a tailor-made service. 

 3-Enjoy exclusive Thom Browne shopping at the Epi boutique. Thom Browne charcoal suit-shorts, four-band vests and tricolor-ribboned blouses have made him one of the most influential designers in the U.S.  Exclusively for Epi, you will find pieces from one of the best creators on the American fashion scene. A must.
