The Evocative History of Colette

Colette, a literary and free-spirited figure, has left her mark on the Colette Restaurant. Discovering the tranquility of Saint-Tropez in the 1920s, she left an imprint on the region's history. At the Treille Muscate, a neighboring residence of the 5-star Hotel Sezz overlooking the bay of Canebiers, Colette welcomed the prominent figures of her time to enjoy meals made from vegetables grown in the garden. Today, chef Philippe Colinet carries on this spirit by honoring Colette's name. The echoes of the free-spirited writer resonate in his cuisine, in harmony with the rhythm of the Academy Goncourt member. A century separates them, yet the magic of the place transcends time to preserve authenticity.

Michelin-starred chef Philippe Colinet, since the summer reopening of 2020, draws inspiration from childhood memories. He grew up with the flavors of fruits, vegetables, and seasonal products from the south of France, an experience that is reflected in his authentic cuisine. This local and natural cuisine is rooted in a deep understanding of the product, from its cultivation to its harvest. By closely collaborating with local producers, Philippe Colinet elevates each ingredient, whether it's a simple tomato or a Mediterranean oyster harvested in Tamaris. This approach reveals the very essence of flavors. The chef loves foraging wild herbs and edible flowers while creating his own herb garden at the Hotel Sezz.
