Where Should I go: Saint-Tropez or Azores?

Saint-Tropez

Saint-Tropez is a town in southern France west of Nice, in the Var department of the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region. Saint-Tropez is located on the French Riviera. It was a military stronghold and a fishing village until the beginning of the 20th century. It was the first town on this coast to be liberated during World War II (as part of Operation Dragoon). After the war, it became an internationally known seaside resort, renowned principally because of the influx of artists of the French New Wave in cinema and the Ye-ye movement in music. It later became a resort for the European and American holiday and a goal for tourists in search of a little Provencal authenticity and an occasional celebrity sighting.

Azores

The Azores are a group of nine volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Portugal. Although the islands were created through volcanic activity, there is far less activity now, making the Azores the perfect beach escape. Most people speak Portuguese, or a dialect of it, with English spoken primarily by those in the tourism industry.
