PAD Saint-Tropez 2027: art and design on the Riviera

The Pavillon des Arts et du Design (PAD) returns to Saint-Tropez as one of the essential dates on the French Riviera's art calendar. Organised by PAD Paris SAS, the fair gathers international galleries specialising in decorative arts, contemporary and historical design, photography, artist jewellery and primitive art. The event takes place at Maison Jean Despas, a venue in the heart of Saint-Tropez just a short stroll from the harbour and the peninsula's most iconic beaches. Over five days, collectors, interior designers and the general public can discover one-of-a-kind pieces spanning 150 years of creation, from modern design to contemporary production. The fair opens with a Collectors Preview day, followed by public openings featuring guided tours, gallery presentations and meetings with designers. Free entry is offered to residents of nearby towns including Gassin, Ramatuelle, La Croix-Valmer and Port-Grimaud. For those travelling from further afield, Saint-Tropez offers a broad choice of accommodation, from boutique hotels in the old town to seafront resorts, making it easy to combine a visit to the fair with a few days on the French Riviera.
