- 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.
