Each summer, Saint-Tropez reinvents itself. This legendary village on the French Riviera never ceases to surprise, balancing tradition with daring, refinement with creative freedom. In 2025, it embraces a new cultural challenge: for the very first time, Saint-Tropez will host the PAD – Pavillon des Arts et du Design – from July 12 to 20, at Salle Jean Despas, Place des Lices.
Firmly established in Paris and London since its inception in 1998, the PAD is now heading south. This inaugural edition celebrates light, texture, excellence and the spirit of the Mediterranean. A destination where glamour and elegance converge with contemporary design and art.
Saint-Tropez, once a humble fishing port, now an international cultural icon, is the perfect stage for collectors, enthusiasts, and curious minds alike. Galleries are taking over the village’s charming alleyways, artworks are finding their place in iconic landmarks, and interior architects are adding the final, inspired touch. The PAD spirit is setting in, detail by detail.
PAD Saint-Tropez promises a rich and immersive journey through historical and contemporary design, carefully curated by top-tier French and international galleries. An exceptional encounter with artistic excellence in a sun-drenched, inspiration-filled setting.
A sensory experience at the heart of Saint-Tropez’s Art de Vivre
Here, Saint-Tropez reveals a new side of itself, always iconic, yet continuously evolving. Joyfully vibrant, endlessly curious, and deeply rooted in the creative process, it’s the perfect host for this premiere edition.
