Grimaud —
Just a short drive from glamorous Saint Tropez, the charming village of Grimaud attracts travellers looking for a quieter spot on the French Riviera to soak up some sunshine and immerse themselves in the charms of southern France. Split between the medieval village of Grimaud and the seaside resort of Port Grimaud, there’s plenty to explore in this picture-perfect area.
Perched on a hilltop a short drive from the sea, the historic village of Grimaud boasts beautiful views over the surrounding countryside from the ruins of its castle, and it’s worth spending an afternoon wandering its charming Provencal streets.
From Grimaud, head towards the sea and the town of Port Grimaud, known as the ‘Venice of Provence’ thanks to its maze of canals and colourful houses. A waterbus transports visitors through this unique town, where you can dine at waterside restaurants and relax on the sandy beach. Naturally, there are also plenty of watersports on offer at this seaside retreat, including water skiing, sailing, and snorkeling. Afterwards, why not indulge in some fresh seafood for a true taste of the Cote d’Azur...
