A medieval town on the coast, with a modern lakeside village at the foot of the road - so you can define 'Grimaud'. The village of Grimaud has a long history, starting with the Gallo-Roman era. In the 11th century the steep summit attracted the attention of military strategists, because it is high on a summit that dominates the Gulf of Saint Tropez and controls the access from the north and the Maures mountains. Make sure you visit the beautiful church of St. Michel. The religious devotion to this place is infallible: three beautifully preserved chapels mark the history of Grimaud: Notre Dame de la Queste (11th century), the Penitents' Chapel (15th century) and the St. Roch's Chapel (18th century). As far as recent history is concerned, the main characteristic is Port Grimaud. Here, in 1966, the architect François Spoerry realized a visionary and ambitious project: the marina or city with the "lake house". Today, Port Grimaud is one of the most visited places in France, with its quays of 12 km full of gardens and "fishermen's houses" where boats can be moored. A real architectural success!
