Port Grimaud is a picturesque seaside town, it is a mixture of France and Italy. This seaside town was created by architect François Spoerry in the 1960s by modifying the marshes of the river Giscle on the bay of Saint-Tropez.
Built with channels in a Venetian manner, but with French "Fishermans" style houses resembling those in Saint-Tropez.
This little town is surrounded by pastel buildings and little canals. Even though it is small it is very charming, with small boutiques and coffee shops dotted around town. Apart from walking, you can also go on boat rides around the canals to explore the town.
Honestly I could have stayed there the whole day just wondering and exploring this small town. There are plenty of instagrammable spots there, I just wished I could have spent more time there.

It is a really great amusement park with good value for your money. The great thing is that you can use your punch card another day if you don't use up all your rides. Staff was friendly and rides lasted longer than average I thought. I also thought that it was nice that entry to the park was free so if you don't want to go on any rides you don't have to pay to join your family. We also felt safe due to security control.

Just away from teh centre of Cogolin is this fantastic pipe-maker. they have thousands of hand-made pipes on display and even more tucked away in drawers. There were so many sizes and designs including carvings of presidents and other famous people. It was fascinating, and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. It's worth a detour if you're in the area, there can't be many places like this in the world.

How lovely is this? What a treat, a lovely ride up to the Medieval City of Grimaud. We boarded the train just outside the entrance into Port Grimaud, the journey takes 30 minutes to reach the City, a running commentary gives some history and points out interesting places along the route. The cost is amazing, only 7 euros return. Don't miss this when you are in the area.

Had a pleasant drink on the harbour side mid week, so peaceful despite the fact that the only voices I heard all belong to British visitors

Reviewed By Neil F - Helsinki, Finland
Its worth the climb through the ruins of Grimaud castle to the summit just for the views of the surrounding countryside, although this is a tall order on a hot Summer's day ! although the ruins are impressive, there isn't much by way of historical info posted on signs throughout the castle

L'Eglise St François d'Assise, réalisé par l'architecte François Spoerry, créateur de Port Grimaud, est née en 1966 tout comme la cité lacustre. Inspirée par les église des Saintes Marie de la Mer, ses vitraux ont été réalisés par Victor Vasarely : ils représentent les phases du soleil : de son lever à son coucher. Pour un euro vous pouvez monter sur son toit et admirer la plus belle vue sur Port Grimaud.

I am not really a modernist and certainly not religious but I have been here many times over the 30 years I have been around the area. I never fail to be impressed . I just like the simplicity, the calm and the stained glass...MoreHi Andrew, thanks a lot for your nice comment. We're pleased you enjoyed Port Grimaud and all the area. See you soon for a 31 year ? ;) Grimaud Tourisme
10. Citadelle de Saint-Tropez - Musee d'histoire maritime
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 693 reviews
For over 400 years, the Citadel rings the city. Element of the defence of the port the most important between Antibes and Toulon for centuries, it is now one of the few monuments of this magnitude of the Var coast. Proud of its rich maritime past, Saint-Tropez has decided to create a modern museum in the dungeon of the town's Citadel, allowing all visitors to discover the daily lives of men and women who shaped over the centuries the Saint-Tropez of today.
Reviewed By Munrovia
It's quite a climb up a series steps to the Citadelle but really worth it for the view alone. The museum is not big but it is interesting to learn about the birth of St Tropez. The views from the top of the tower itself are fantastic. Worth a visit.
