Grimaud is a medieval hilltop village on the spectacular Côte d'Azur. The village is surrounded by the foothills of the Maures mountain range, oak forests and chestnut trees and overlooks the Gulf of Saint-Tropez just 5kms away. Grimaud is made up of the main village with the castle as the focal point plus several hamlets that join together through a network of narrow cobbled streets. When wandering around this maze, you will discover fantastic cafes, restaurants and artisan shops.
In just a few minutes by car, you can be at Port Grimaud. This stunningly beautiful resort is known as mini Venice due to its network of waterways. The white sandy beaches are fabulous and perfect for swimming and watersports. Away from the beaches, there are plenty of great walks ranging in length and difficulty along the protected mountain range called Massif de l'Esterel giving panoramic views of the coast.
