"San Tropez" is the title of the fourth track from the album Meddle by the band Pink Floyd.[1][2]
While Roger Waters plays the acoustic guitar, "San Tropez" does include a short slide guitar solo from guitarist David Gilmour and an extended piano solo by keyboardist Richard 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. It is the only track off Meddle not co-written by David Gilmour. This song is about a place called Saint-Tropez, a commune of the Var département in southern France located on the French Riviera. The song reflects an idealized vision of what a day in San Tropez might be like.[3]
