St Tropez Soleil by Simon Liberati

(Assouline, £77)

Sun, sand, sultry swimwear… the sexy allure of St Tropez is all here in a book that charts how a tiny fishing village in the French Riviera became the playground of artists and aristos. Of the name-checked movie stars, special mention goes to Brigitte Bardot, whose 1956 film And God Created Woman used it as a location, sending it into the stratosphere.
