Cyril Lignac’s sweetest taste of summer
More than 20 artisanal ice creams and sorbets from celebrated French chef Cyril Lignac, from impeccable pistachio and chocolate to wonderfully indulgent pastry-inspired creations.
In the heart of Saint-Tropez, just steps from the port, Chef Cyril Lignac has turned one of summer’s simplest pleasures into something decidedly more indulgent.
GLACÉ is Lignac’s dedicated collection of artisanal ice creams, crèmes glacées, and sorbets, created with the same attention to ingredients and technique that defines his celebrated pâtisseries. More than 20 flavors rotate through the Saint-Tropez boutique, ranging from beautifully executed classics like vanilla, chocolate, pistachio, lemon, strawberry, and passion fruit, to playful combinations that feel much more like composed desserts.
Think chocolate and vanilla with brownie, strawberry with vanilla and meringue, or vanilla layered with cookies and soft caramel. These aren’t simply flavors added to an ice-cream base; many bring together different textures and familiar pastry elements, blurring the line between a scoop of ice cream and one of Lignac’s desserts.
Everything is made artisanally, with ingredients selected for quality and recipes designed around generosity rather than restraint. It’s sophisticated enough for serious food lovers but deliberately joyful and approachable. The kind of place equally suited to an afternoon treat, something sweet after dinner, or an entirely unnecessary second visit later in the week.
And the location makes it particularly Saint-Tropez. Grab a cone or cup and continue toward the port, wandering through the village as the ice cream inevitably begins to melt faster than you intended.

Insider Insight
Don’t automatically order a flavor you already know.
The classics are excellent, but GLACÉ becomes much more interesting when you choose one of Cyril Lignac’s dessert-inspired combinations. Look for creations such as chocolate-vanilla-brownie, strawberry-vanilla-meringue, or vanilla-cookie-soft caramel and pair one with a simpler flavor alongside it.
If you discover a favorite, there is another useful insider trick: order ahead using Click & Collect. The Saint-Tropez tourism office specifically recommends it if you want to make certain a particular flavor hasn’t sold out.
Then take it to go. Part of the pleasure is stepping back into the streets of Saint-Tropez with a cone in hand and wandering toward the port.
GLACÉ proves that a memorable food experience doesn’t always require a reservation.
Cyril Lignac applies the technique and imagination of a celebrated chef and pâtissier to something wonderfully uncomplicated: ice cream. Exceptional ingredients, more than 20 flavors, beautifully executed classics, and indulgent combinations inspired by the world of pastry make this far more interesting than the typical summer glacier.
Stop after lunch, wander over after dinner, or make it a destination during an evening stroll through the village.
Because in Saint-Tropez, sometimes the best dessert is the one you eat while walking.
Some of the best Saint-Tropez traditions require nothing more than a warm evening, a walk through the village, and a really good gelato.
