"San Tropez" is the title of the fourth track from the album Meddle by the band Pink Floyd. The song has an upbeat, jazzy tempo, with a tropical feel to it, including a short slide guitar solo from guitarist David Gilmour and an extended piano solo by keyboardist Rick Wright at the end. Unlike the other tracks on Meddle, "San Tropez" was not written collaboratively; instead, Roger Waters wrote the piece himself and brought it into the studio already finished. [1]
The album was loosely based on Pink Floyd's life around this time. The whole band went to the French Riviera's village of Saint-Tropez with their then-girlfriends and had a great peaceful time, hence the peaceful nature of this song and the title.
