By bike

By mountain bike or road bike, saddle up for a ride on Grimaud’s cycle paths and trails.

1. Cycle route

To Saint-Tropez or Sainte-Maxime

The Grimaud seaside is served by the coastal cycle route (V65) passing through the communes of Sainte-Maxime, Grimaud, Cogolin and Saint-Tropez.
It’s another way to get around the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, avoiding the heavy road traffic at different times of the year and taking advantage of the beaches along certain sections of the route.

2. Bike hire

If you’ve come without your bikes and fancy a ride, don’t worry!

There are several bike hire companies in Grimaud, renting both electric and pedal bikes, so you can ride along the coastal paths and cycle routes.

3. Mountain biking on roads

Want to put in a bit more effort? Set off on your mountain bike – pedal or electric – along accessible roads and paths.
For those who are used to trails, we recommend the trail “La Garde Freinet – Grimaud par les Vernades”. It’s a good 16-km ride along lightly-travelled roads and dirt tracks.

NB: Some of the downhill sections may be daunting for less experienced mountain bikers.

4. Guided rides

To discover the Gulf of Saint-Tropez by bike, take advantage of the guided tours.
– For all levels,
– Electric or classic mountain bikes, Gravel bikes or road bikes,
