Come and explore Port Grimaud, nicknamed the ‘Little Venice of Provence’, on a boat trip along the pretty canals and just take in the timeless, enchanting charm of the place.

As you sail along the canals, the colourful façades reflect onto the water and the bridges really resemble those of the Floating City.

Explore this iconic lacustrian town of the French Riviera in an original way on an electric boat.

3. Highlights

It’s all going on in the summer season and the major events will leave you with memories you certainly won’t be forgetting in a hurry.

For over 20 years now, the festival of world music and street arts, Les Grimaldines, has been the ultimate highlight of the summer festivities in Grimaud.

But this event has some competition! The ‘Une Nuit au Moyen Âge’ event is a celebration of medieval times in Grimaud, with knights, troubadours, taverns and old-fashioned boutiques that will whisk you back 1,000 years for an evening.

The traditional Fête du Village is a three-day event that showcases Grimaud. There’s so much going on for this celebration, including concerts, fireworks, big meals together, and so much more.

4. Provence markets

In Grimaud, the Provence markets are an invitation to discover local flavours and regional arts and crafts.

Every week, the squares are filled with colourful stalls heaped with local fruit, vegetables, cheese and honey.

In the centre of the medieval village or alongside the canals in Port Grimaud, the markets are bursting with taste and style in Grimaud!

6. Activities in the water

When we think of the summer, we think of the Mediterranean and activities (and seafood)!

At the heart of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Grimaud is the ideal playground for fans of water-based activities. Paddleboarding at sunrise, a hair-raising ride on a jet ski or a trip out to sea on a sailing boat with the wind in your hair, every moment on the water is a fun one.

As a family or with friends, you’ll enjoy the warm weather, clear waters of the Mediterranean and the sheer freedom of sailing in this picture-perfect setting. Here, every wave brings with it the promise of unforgettable memories!

7. Great places for photos

Those looking for souvenirs to take back home or passionate photographers will have so many opportunities in Grimaud to capture those unique moments.

Everywhere has its share of wonders to admire here, whether you’re strolling through the pretty streets of the medieval village where the colourful façades and flower-filled alleyways create an authentic scene, exploring the lacustrian town of Port Grimaud, the ‘Little Venice of Provence’ with its romantic canals, or escaping into the unspoilt natural environment of the Maures mountains.

8. Set sail

Get ready for a maritime adventure departing from Grimaud! The Bateaux Verts will take you on a stress-free crossing to Saint-Tropez, with a breathtaking view of the world’s most famous bell tower as an added bonus.

Fancy a getaway? Head for the Îles d’Or – Porquerolles, Port-Cros or Le Levant – where the waters are so turquoise, it looks like there’s a permanent Instagram filter on the scene!

For a rather original touch, take a boat trip along the canals in Port Grimaud on an electric boat and drive the boat yourselves (no boating permit required, how classy is that!).

9. Grimaud tailored to your needs

Whether you’ve got a day or a week ahead of you, Grimaud will adapt to your pace.

In 24 hours, wander around the narrow medieval streets in the village, take a selfie in front of the castle (unless there’s a princess to rescue of course) and then head to Port Grimaud, the Little Venice of Provence, to enjoy a touch of the dolce vita.

For a weekend, add to that a hike in the Maures mountains and early evening cocktails facing the sea, because after all that exercise, you deserve a treat!

And if you’re staying for a week in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, get ready to alternate between relaxation, culture and adventure… with no risk of boredom on the horizon.
