18 / 05 / 2022 Saint-Tropez, France / 464th BRAVADE / After two years of cancellation, the bravado of Saint-Tropez returned. STORY In AD 68, Saint Tropez publicly refused to renounce his Christian faith before Nero. Nero had him beheaded. His body was then placed in a boat with a rooster and a dog to symbolize the disrespect that had been shown to the emperor. The boat was then pushed into the Arno River. It was carried by the currents to the shores of Saint-Tropez. At the end of the 15th century, the town of Saint-Tropez was rebuilt, fortified and repopulated. The role of the new inhabitants of Saint-Tropez was to defend the city and its surroundings. They also carried their arms to celebrate the feast of the Saint, which took place on May 17 in the Saint-Tropez chapel, located "outside the walls". The tradition of honoring the Saint with arms has continued to the present day after the removal of these privileges. Credit Ilona Barna BIPHOTONEWS / Alamy Live News
