Café des Arts Saint-Tropez: the unmissable address on Place des Lices

Le Café des Arts, an institution on Place des Lices

On Place des Lices, restaurants come and go, concepts change — but Le Café des Arts remains. Gault&Millau Like the pétanque players who gather there every morning, it's one of those places that resist time and mass tourism.
