Cemetery of Saint-Tropez, Maritime cemetery in Saint-Tropez, France.

The Saint-Tropez Cemetery sits on a sloping hillside overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, featuring graves adorned with hydrangeas and tamarisks that frame panoramic views of the Canoubiers Bay and coastal landscape.

In 1776 Louis XVI ordered burials moved outside town walls for sanitary reasons; Saint-Tropez first opened a cemetery at Pré-des-Pêcheurs near Plage de la Ponche, but the rocky, shallow ground led to a search for another site. In 1791 the cemetery was established at Roqueplane below the citadel, where it still stands. It was enlarged toward the southwest in 1855, 1871, 1894, 1920, 1960 and 1980, the last with crypts.

Among the graves are those of Brigitte Bardot's parents Louis "Pilou" Bardot and Anne-Marie Mucel, and of Bannou Pan Deï, niece of the king of Lahore and wife of General Jean-François Allard, who died in 1884. The painter André Dunoyer de Segonzac, the composer Louis Durey and the hairdresser Alexandre de Paris are also buried here.

Open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM, the cemetery is located on Chemin des Graniers and remains easily accessible from Saint-Tropez town center for visitors exploring the area's historical heritage.

The cemetery was first laid out in 1791 at a spot called Roqueplane, below the citadel, after the parish burial ground near today's Place d'Ormeau and a short-lived site at Pré-des-Pêcheurs proved rocky and shallow. Among the graves is that of Bannou Pan Deï, niece of the ruler of Lahore and wife of General Jean-François Allard, who served Ranjit Singh.
