Grimaud is above all a port, a port that every year welcomes an impressive number of vacationers in search of an exotic destination with timeless charm. Take advantage of your Mediterranean yacht charter to discover Grimaud, this magnificent village, hauled in by the Mediterranean Sea, where time seems to have stopped.
With its old churches, such as the chapel of Notre-Dame-de-la-Queste, and its old castle dating from the 11th century, Grimaud has an almost medieval atmosphere. Its port and exceptional architecture have also enabled the town to find its place in the 20th Century Heritage, and this since 2002. Coiled down a rope at the bottom of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Port Grimaud was built by François Spoerry some twenty years ago. This majestic port has since become a mooring place for luxury yachts and small pleasure boats.
Yacht charter in Port Grimaud offers a multitude of possibilities to pleasure boaters. In addition to the unique opportunity to stroll through the streets of an authentic village, vacationers can also relax on the beautiful sunny beaches, such as Port-Grimaud beach opposite Saint-Tropez or Cigales beach, much appreciated for its picturesque character. Les Tamaris beach, meanwhile, will enchant campers!
Stroll through an open-air museum
Anchoring in the port will also give you the opportunity to discover a village with medieval charm. Grimaud is distinguished by its rich historical heritage. The châteaux, churches and ramparts will transport you to a distant era, like the majestic feudal castle dating from the 11th century overlooking the town. The latter also offers a magnificent view of the ramparts of Grimaud. You will go back to the Middle Ages in front of the Notre-Dame-de-la-Queste chapel, the Pénitents chapel, occupying the west of the village, and the Saint-Michel church.
The Saint-Roch chapel, watching over the entrance to the village, the Saint-Roch windmill and the Pont des Fées are all architectural marvels to be discovered during your stroll through the heart of the village, which is listed as a remarkable site.
Short nature walk around Grimaud
Nature also offers holidaymakers numerous leisure opportunities. Located in the heart of the Massif des Maures, Grimaud also offers a rural setting that invites you to get away from it all. Choose hiking or cycling to explore this natural environment and vineyards that characterize the area around the town.
Intrepid hikers can follow the hiking trail leading to the foothills of the Maures. You will stroll through forests of cork oaks and pines before reaching San Peyre, where a lovely view awaits you at an altitude of 400 meters. The La Castellane trail will take you to the south of the village, where you will have beautiful views of the surrounding hills.
Combine cultural, natural and architectural discovery by following the famous Vallon du Pont des Fées trail. Labeled "Sentier Varois de Qualité" (Var Quality Trail), this sailing itinerary will allow you to immortalize the famous Fées deck spanning the La Garde river. It is also by following this path that you will reach the Saint Roch windmill, which has occupied the site since the 16th century.
