Appointment of the 467th city captain
The 21/04/2025
As every year, the town council meets to vote on the appointment of a town captain to lead the Bravades to the town hall.
Every year since 1558, the Town Council has appointed the Town Captain. Initially responsible for leading the local militia and defending the town during his year as captain, his role today is less bellicose, but no less important.
The Capitaine de Ville is in charge of the Bravades de Saint-Tropez, the annual votive festival held on May 16, 17 and 18.
2:30 pm: Bravadeurs meet in arms at Place de la Mairie. Town Council meeting at
2:45pm, to appoint the town captain.
3 p.m.: proclamation of the appointment on the town hall steps, followed by a procession of bravaders
and the delegation to the Salle Jean Despas for a snack given by the new town captain.
(PS: in the morning, the Rampeu celebrates its birthday at Sainte-Anne, followed by dances on the harbour).
