Day 1
From the village to nature
Want to discover the soul of Grimaud?
On your first day, we suggest a discovery of Provence and the countryside. A feast for the eyes.
The village of Grimaud, which dates back to the medieval period, will take you back to Provence’s olden days. You’ll come across typical houses, small paved streets, stone, a castle and many other monuments. During the summer months, the village is a real beauty. Bougainvilleas in bloom are worth the detour!
You’ll work up an appetite with all that exploring ! Here is a selection of restaurants in the village, where they will be delighted to share their tasty dishes with you.
After a nice meal, what could be better than a walk in the countryside?
We have just that ! From the windmill Saint-Roch, take the “Pont des Fées” trail. Not far from the village, immerse yourself in the Massif des Maures mountains. On this trail, you’ll see the Pont des Fées (Fairies’ Bridge), a former aqueduct which provided water to the village. A touch of magic, we’ll let you run away with your imagination, daydreaming about the legend of the Fairies…
NB : Wear closed shoes for this walk, it won’t be very comfortable walking in the countryside with only your flip flops.
You first day comes to an end here and we’ll give you some free time.
Drinks, food, sleep…
Online or on the map of Grimaud, you’ll find all the information needed to travel along Grimaud’s trails.
Colourful fishing houses along the canals of this city built on water… Do you want to dream with your eyes open? We’ll take care of everything… Take your time discovering different spots, the quays lined with boats, and come aboard a tow-boat or an electric boat and roam the canals. Admire the Var’s Venice from the water : it’s exquisite!
Time for a break! You’ll find several restaurants in Port Grimaud. Or why not enjoy a picnic on the beach?
From Port Grimaud, the coastal cycle path will take you to Sainte-Maxime and Saint-Tropez.
Hire a bike and set off to discover our coastlines ! We promise you, it’s super easy : no hills and totally relaxed
We’ll leave you to explore the coast.

What could be better than the seaside to recharge your batteries and relax ? On the programme today : beach day under the French Riviera’s sun.
All you’ll need is a parasol, some sun cream, a good book and some snacks. No need for anything else, let yourself be lulled by the Mediterranean sea lapping onto the shore.
On the abandoned beach, shells and activities… It’s sunny, you’re on form and the seaside is calling your name… An idea of how you can enjoy it!
Take the high road : the Gulf of Saint Tropez and French Riviera seen from above is quite simply something else ! Alain, the Flying Sailor, will take you parasailing so that you can admire this incredible panoramic view. If you’re scared of heights, don’t worry, you can also learn to wakeboard or water ski if you prefer.
If you can’t get enough of the countryside and the outdoors, why not continue your discovery on horseback?
The Ranch de la Mène would be delighted to take you on a ride in the calm of the Grimaud forest. And if you’re good, he might invite you to see his farm.
Treetop adventure course, golf, cycling, yoga, catamaran, go-karting…
The list is long! Find your happiness amongst the activities on offer in Grimaud.
