Grimaud

Among the towns of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Grimaud stands out for bringing together a medieval hilltop core and the canal-lined marina of Port Grimaud on the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. The older settlement rises on the edge of the Massif des Maures, where the ruins of Château de Grimaud recall the commune’s feudal past. Down by the water, Port Grimaud was conceived in the 1960s by architect François Spoerry as a waterside town, with houses, quays and small bridges arranged around navigable canals. This contrast between stone streets inland and boats at the coast gives Grimaud a distinct place on the Riviera. Discover how Grimaud relates to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez by browsing webcams nearby.
