Port Grimaud:
Situated in the Golf of St Tropez between St Maxime and St Tropez, Port Grimaud is a picturesque network of canals, small stone bridges linking the islands to the mainland, squares and pretty streets - in fact a miniature Venice with varied Provencale houses painted in pastel colours built around the waterway system. Each house has its own mooring, and care was taken by the designer Francois Spoerry that each has its own individual character.
Local area:
Within short driving distance, there are the historical hill-top towns of Gassin, Grimaud and Cogolin. Further afield there are many famous towns such as Grasse (perfumes centre), Cannes/Nice and the Cotes D'Azur, Marseilles, Aix en Provence. For those interested in walking there is a coastal path that runs for many kilometres around the beaches and headlands.
