Grimaud, whose foundations date back to the Gallo-Roman era, combines the charms of Provence and the French Riviera.

An authentic Provençal village

From the seaside with its crystal-clear waters to the heart of the countryside, the village stretches out, made up of charming hamlets and neighborhoods that form a colorful mosaic.

The village has retained its authentic character as an old Provençal village, boasting a rich heritage steeped in a medieval atmosphere, with its stone houses topped with red-tiled roofs, its flower-lined streets, and its famous castle—a symbol of power that has overlooked the fertile plain since at least the 11th century.

A rich historical heritage

As you stroll through the village, its historical treasures come into view, such as the iconic Rue des Templiers with its 15th-century stone arcades, which was once the main street. Or Place Neuve, with its fountain fed by a spring several kilometers from the village and channeled through an aqueduct, of which the Pont des Fées remains today.

Nearby, the beautiful Saint-Michel Church, built in the Provençal Romanesque style at the end of the 12th century, with its bell tower and sacristy, holds centuries of history, beliefs, and secrets.

The first church built in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, it now hosts classical music concerts during its “Soirées musicales.”

And don’t miss the Saint-Roch mill, one of the village’s four windmills.
