Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez is a 270-acre gated community in the French Riviera known for its multimillionaire-dollar residences and billionaire residents.
Last month, the community came into the spotlight when a local newspaper reported that the president of the Les Parcs association had set up a private coronavirus testing site for residents.
The news sparked outrage among locals living outside the compound as testing was then scarce in hospitals throughout France.
Les Parcs residents include Bernard Arnault, the third-richest person in the world, and Mohamed al-Fayed, owner of the Ritz Paris.
Here's a peek inside some of the multimillion-dollar properties currently for sale in Les Parcs de Saint-Tropez.
