Re: Where is San Tropez

I'm not that old, either. I read it in a book, too--I just couldn't remember the year.

Re: Where is San Tropez

The name of the place is Saint Tropez, why did they call the song "San Tropez"?

Maybe because they wanted to! :grin:

Re: Where is San Tropez

If I'm not mistaken, the French pronunciation DOES make it come out closer to "San" than what we English speakers associate with the spelling "Saint".

Re: Where is San Tropez

Pink Floyd played in San Tropez on August 8th, 1970, at Les Arenas (a venue there, I guess.)
Actually made me sit back and think when I came by it in the Pink Floyd Encyclopedia.
Was the song inspired by this visit or by something else?

That is true, but it is still written Saint Tropez in French.

Cheers, nice to see you again FW.

Re: Where is San Tropez

LOL! Good to see you again, too.

I do realise that the spelling SAN Tropez is still wrong...but you can see where an English speaker might get that.

Yeah. Sounds like it's Spanish or Mexican or something like that.
