"La Plage de Saint Tropez" is a song recorded by Swedish group Army of Lovers. It was released in 1993 as the second single from their third album, The Gods of Earth and Heaven (1993), and peaked at number 15 in Finland, number 17 in Flanders and number 83 in Germany. The song's music video was directed by Swedish director Fredrik Boklund, who also directed the other videos for the band.

Critical reception

Swedish Göteborgsposten stated in their review of The Gods of Earth and Heaven that the song is "another hit", adding it as a "schlager-built song with a fast rhythm". A reviewer from Music & Media described it as "a souped-up version of 'fat' Elvis' 'My Boy'" that "will definitely find the sun on its side. Beaches will not be the same anymore, and the charts will go topless..."
