Summary:The St Tropez peninsula, where dozens of French A-listers have been enjoying the extended Assumption Day weekend in their villas and flats, is France's celebrity-spotting site par excellence. This year, the rap singer Diddy has rubbed shoulders in Ramatuelle with the hotel heiress Paris Hilton and the former Baywatch actress Pamela Anderson. The TF1 television news chief Robert Namias was staying near the blaze. Among his neighbours are the former France football captain Marcel Desailly, the motor company heir Pierre Citroen, the singer Juliette Greco and the actor Pierre Arditi. It remained unclear how the blaze had started, but it came at the height of the season of forest fires. This year, the worst-hit area of France has been the Pyrenees Ori-entales, west of St Tropez. Amid unusually high winds, the departement has lost a record 2,000 acres of forest and more than 400 water-bombing operations have been carried out over the summer so far.
