A traditional Tropezian festival
The Bravade de Saint-Tropez is an old Provencal tradition, held every year in Saint-Tropez over three days of processions and tributes to the tromblonnade.
A patron saint festival, it also celebrates the arrival of the body of Saint Torpes in his boat in the year 68, after having been beheaded by Nero on 17 May, and then placed in a boat between a cockerel and a dog.
