Portrait: What makes the 12/12 Pastis de Saint-Tropez Conçue à Saint-Tropez special

Saint-Tropez is known for many things—yachts, sunsets, glamorous promenades—and, it turns out, a pretty impressive game of pétanque. It is precisely this quintessential French way of life that is captured on the label of the 50ml miniature bottle of 12/12 Pastis de Saint-Tropez "Conçue à Saint-Tropez."Instead of a spectacular coastal backdrop, the focus here is on the people—people who, while playing pétanque, are evidently concerned with life’s truly important matters: a steady hand, a keen eye, and the question of who will end up closest to the target ball.

12/12 Pastis de Saint-Tropez blends French tradition with the relaxed lifestyle of the Côte d’Azur. Its name says it all: Saint-Tropez is not merely its place of origin and source of inspiration, but a vital part of the brand’s identity. This is reflected in the distinctive bottle design and the motifs that tell stories of life on the French Riviera.

This pastis is backed by a long tradition of distilling. It is produced at Marseille’s oldest active distillery—founded back in 1884 and currently operated by the Cristal Limiñana family. That means this small bottle holds a wealth of Southern French history—despite having a capacity of just 50 milliliters.

The design also plays a special role: Saint-Tropez-born artist Quentin Monge created the distinctive look of 12/12 Pastis de Saint-Tropez. The "Conçue à Saint-Tropez" edition features a scene that couldn't be more French: people playing pétanque.

Whether as a small souvenir, a gift, or a miniature for your own collection, this bottle brings a piece of Saint-Tropez to your shelf. And thanks to the pétanque motif, it also offers a valuable life lesson: you don't always need to know where the journey is heading. Sometimes, it is enough to simply throw the ball as close to the target as possible.

50 ml, plenty of Riviera flair—and guaranteed no arguments about who started it.
