Les Médiévales de la Saint-Michel

Embark on a journey through time and let yourself be whisked away across the centuries!

Every year in late September, the village of Grimaud celebrates “Les Médiévales de la Saint-Michel” (The Saint Michael Medieval Fair), a grand event born out of the merging of two historic celebrations: the patronal feast of Saint-Michel and Une Nuit au Moyen Âge (A Night in the Middle Ages).
This spectacular gathering seamlessly blends authentic Provençal traditions, captivating historical performances and a bustling artisan market, offering an enchanting and festive immersion into the medieval heritage of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

Draw your swords and join the revelry!
