The Byblos is a luxury hotel in Saint-Tropez, on the Côte d'Azur. Conceived by the Lebanese hotelier Jean-Prosper Gay-Para — seduced, according to legend, by Brigitte Bardot — it was built starting in 1965 and inaugurated on May 27, 1967. Its name is borrowed from the ancient Phoenician port city of Byblos in Lebanon. The establishment features neo-Provençal architecture in the form of a hamlet of small interlocking buildings, blending Roman tile roofs, colorful facades, fountains, and patios. It was purchased in September 1967 by the industrialist Sylvain Floirat, who would expand it over the decades, and it also houses the legendary nightclub Les Caves du Roy, making it one of the most iconic addresses in the resort.

The former gendarmerie of Saint-Tropez occupies a building on Place Blanqui, in the heart of the Var seaside resort. The edifice housed the national gendarmerie brigade of the municipality from 1879 to 2003, the year in which it was transferred to more modern facilities. Remaining disused for a few years, the building was then rehabilitated by the municipality and converted into a cultural facility. Since June 2016, it has hosted the Museum of Gendarmerie and Cinema, which traces both the history of the institution and the links between Saint-Tropez and the seventh art. A bronze statue of Brigitte Bardot, 2.5 meters tall and inspired by a drawing by Milo Manara, was installed in 2017 on the square, in front of the museum entrance.
