"Best $85 Million I've Ever Spent!" Petra Ecclestone Celebrates The Spelling Manor Sale & Bastille Day In St. Tropez

[Petra Ecclestone photo via] Good for Petra Ecclestone for snatching up L.A.'s most offensive and enormous monstrosity at nearly half the staggering $150 million asking price. Securing the The Spelling Manor which might be the town's biggest abomination of taste and proportion last week for $85 million must have taken quite a toll on her and she certainly deserves a little vacay after such a trying ordeal. Nothing too fancy or over the top though, she needs to be conservative after buying that manse. So how did the 22-year-old British heiress relieve some of that stress and decompress? Jetted out to St. Tropez for some yachting, VIP David Guetta, and Akon, obvi! Let's take a look at how Petra sought refuge and caught up on some much needed R&R.

Her sister Tamara Ecclestone has been kind enough to document her and Petra's retreat to the French Riviera via Twitter and has made sure not to glaze over any details because she's really thoughtful like that.

So beautiful and sunny in St Tropez. Jul 11

Does anyone know a good nail technician or salon in St Tropez? Jul 12

Just finished dinner for some reason am so tired think its because I ve been so lazy today! But love it I am in holiday mode. Jul 12

The weather is awful its grey and raining but apparently the sun will be back tommorow! Hope so. Jul 13

Good lord. I'm concerned you guys, and not just because Tamara doesn't know how to spell "tomorrow". What the hell are they supposed to do aboard a stupid yacht if they can't even get a tan??

Going into the port in St Tropez no sun so maybe some shopping instead. Jul 13

Retail therapy. Buying something hideously overpriced always makes me feel better.

David Guetta djing at the party we re going to tonight can't wait! Jul 13
