LAURA, NICOLAS & GIGI

A gentle interlude in Saint-Tropez

Some families arrive with a special kind of energy.
A way of inhabiting a place, of experiencing time, of travelling without ever forcing the rhythm.

Laura and Nicolas are part of that rare group. And with them, Gigi, their little girl just one year old, already as curious and well-travelled as her parents.

In early July 2025, they arrived in Saint-Tropez for a week at Villa Les Canebins. A house we are deeply fond of at Villas Prestige & Services, almost instinctively, for the natural warmth it radiates and the immediate sense of well-being it inspires.

There are houses chosen for their location.
And then there are those chosen for how they make you feel.
Les Canebins belongs to the latter.

A bright, lively and welcoming home where everything invites you to slow down. Nothing here feels fixed or rigid. The spaces are designed to be shared, open and lived in naturally. A house where life unfolds as much outdoors as indoors, where days stretch effortlessly between swims, naps in the shade of the garden trees, and soft, unhurried evenings.

Just minutes from the beaches and the village, Les Canebins offers a rare kind of luxury in Saint-Tropez: the freedom to do everything without ever rushing. A simple, fluid, and obvious way of life.

Travelling with a one-year-old requires a special kind of attention.
A balance between discovery and comfort, spontaneity and gentleness.

Laura and Nicolas travel with that kind of quiet elegance. Choosing places that adapt to their rhythm, without ever giving up on aesthetics, pleasure or experience. Gigi discovers the world at arm’s length, through glances and sensations. Mornings begin slowly, days unfold without urgency, and every moment finds its place naturally.

During their stay, Laura and Nicolas chose to fully enjoy the bespoke services offered by VPS.

Each morning, a private chef prepared brunches and breakfasts. Bucolic, elegant tables designed for shared moments as a family of three. Simple instants that become anchors in the day, around which everything else gently revolves.
At Villas Prestige & Services, we truly believe in these moments.
The ones that seem insignificant, yet mean everything.
A carefully chosen home.
A discreet, thoughtful service.
And the freedom to experience holidays in your own way.

Laura and Nicolas love discovering the world’s most elegant destinations in a discreet way, without excess or staging. With a sensitive eye for details, atmospheres and sensations.

Their stay at Les Canebins tells exactly that story.
A soft, luminous Saint-Tropez, close to the sea and the village, yet away from the noise. A Saint-Tropez lived day by day, like a breath of fresh air. The one we are proud to share at VPS, far from clichés, close to what truly matters.

A week passes quickly when lived this way.
Yet these are often the stays that leave the deepest traces.

Memories made of light, tenderness, laughter, and that very particular feeling of being exactly where you are meant to be.

At Les Canebins, Laura, Nicolas and Gigi created a parenthesis in their own image. Gentle, elegant and full of life.
And we are very happy that it is now part of the story of Villas Prestige & Services.
