Saint-Tropez has just lost one of its iconic figures. On Monday, October 20, 2025, the ceremony held in his honor brought together stars and regulars of the legendary venue that shaped the seaside resort’s history. Among the relatives who came to pay their respects, Nagui and Mélanie Page were present, testifying to the influence and timeless charm of this Saint-Tropez personality.
On Monday, October 20, 2025, the funeral of Patrice de Colmont, owner of Club 55, was held at the Church of Saint-Tropez. Nagui and his wife Mélanie Page made the trip, as can be seen in this video shared by our colleagues at Paris Match on Instagram. “This club in the south of France notably served as the setting for Roger Vadim’s ‘And God Created Woman’ in the 1950s and was the birthplace of the iconic Brigitte Bardot,” the magazine recalls.
Nagui and Mélanie Page—who have three children together: Roxane (born in 2004), Annabel (born in 2008), and Adrien (born in 2012)—own a “Provençal building” in Saint-Tropez. According to various estimates, the residence is worth between €8 and €10 million. It was in this very place, purchased in 1997, that the TV host met his sweetheart in the early 2000s, according to Gala. While he was hosting a party at his home, the actress stumbled upon it by chance, wanting to accompany and “protect” a friend.
“As soon as I saw her, I was charmed. But she gave me pause!” Nagui admitted in 2020.
Patrice de Colmont, a sunny and warm figure in Saint-Tropez
Returning to the death of Patrice de Colmont on October 11th at the age of 77, he was the owner of the legendary Club 55, located on Pampelonne Beach in Ramatuelle. The biggest stars have stayed there, from Brigitte Bardot to Marion Cotillard, Bono, and Barack Obama.
The son of a pioneer, a gracious host to the stars, and a nature lover, Patrice de Colmont was a sunny character, passionate about what he did. “I never work; what I do is a game,” he confided in an interview with Le Parisien in 2019. He embodied this rare hospitality and left his mark on Saint-Tropez’s history. At Club 55, “the customer is not king because he is a friend,” he liked to remind us. Many people came to say “goodbye” to him one last time this Monday.
