Glad you finally got your answer, it's like having one piece of a jigsaw missing!
Unlikely to be called Tarte de (San) Tropez though, it would be "St." Tropez, it is just that it is pronounced 'san' in French.
I know - it was just the word that "spoke" to me, for some reason... And thanks for your NY Times explanation, much appreciated. PJH
