The Other Side of Saint-Tropez

When I returned to Europe after many years in the United States, I rediscovered Saint-Tropez – the village I had known as a child.

Near the citadel, a solitary peacock remained. His evening call seemed to belong to another side of the village: quieter, more poetic and closer to nature.

Over time, the peacocks returned. For me, they came to represent Saint-Tropez beyond its summer image – a place of beauty, reflection and unexpected encounters.

Peacocks.events grew from that spirit and from my years of bringing people together around the world: creating thoughtful settings for conversations that matter.

It was a very interesting group of people that had been brought together by Katharina and her team to share ideas globally. I liked the format: we present some information and then sit down to really brainstorm about it. I’m a big fan.
