Nestled in the heart af the Maures Mountains and bordering the Gulf of St Tropez, Grimaud has maintained its medieval character.
The village is very appealing with its paved and flowered streets winding about all the way from the Romanesque church to the ruins of the feudal castlel.
While exploring the village you will see beautiful old houses that have been superbly renovated.
Grimaud sits on the hillside in the midst of fabulous views.
A few kilometers lower down on the coast, yau can visit Port Grimaud, a seaside vacation spot imagined by the architect François Spoerry.
Thousands of visitors come to see this internationally renowned resort each year.
In St. Tropez everything is famous :
- Beaches : Bouillabaisse Beach, Canebiers Beach, Salins Beach; there are at least 40 on the peninsula.
- There is the Place des Lices where movie stars and local stars get together to play a game of boules or sip Pastis under the plane trees.
Everybody, of course, wears their leather Tropéziennes sandals !
St. Tropez became "St. Trop" when the show business people, artists and writers all fell under the spell of this charming little port in the 1950's.
In the summer one could bump into Picasso, Francoise Sagan, Jacques Prévert and many others, With the arrival of Brigitte Bardot in the 6O's the myth was installed for good. Since then St. Tropez has become the in vacation spot for chic Parisians and the international Jet Set.
People watching is a favorite sport here in the summer, Visitors like to sit at the outdoor cafés hoping either to be seen or to see some one else. Competition is rife. Huge yachts line up in the port rivaling to see which is the biggest, the prettiest, the best kept, or has the snappiest crew .
Only beautiful people hop on board. It is quite a spectacle for the casual visitor !...
St. Tropez's true nature can really only be appreciated in the off months.
If you have the choice come here in May, June or September, without the crowds one can take the time to admire the charming little streets and alleys.
Early in the morning at the Place aux Herbes one can find fruit vegetables and flowers and watch the local fishermen selling their new catch.
This is also the neighborhood of the famous brasseries Le Gorille and Sénéquier.
A typical Provencal market is held every Tuesday and Saturday morning in the Place des Lices.
Religious and festive processions called "Bravades" are lively celebrations which begin in May and continue until the 15th of June.
Getting here:
The easiest way to get to Inland Provence from the US is to fly to Marseilles International Airport (MRS). If you would like to see Paris, fly to Charles de Gaulle Airport then connect directly to the TGV(high speed train) from CDG TGV2 to Avignon TGV(3 hours direct) and rent a car. You would plan to see Paris on the way back, taking the TGV from Avignon TGV to Gare de Lyon, getting a cab to your hotel in the city.

Terms and Conditions
Arrival: Saturday
Minimum Stay: 1 week, please inquire for exceptions
Includes: Final cleaning and any additional maid service as described above.
Confirming your reservation: We will send a rental agreement by fax, email or regular mail. The rental agreement will specify the rental price, the amount of security deposit and the maximum number of overnight occupants.
Initial payment: The signed rental agreement and payment of the 50% deposit using a check or bank wire transfer(preferred) must be received within 7 seven days to confirm the reservation. The second 50% is due 60 days before arrival - we will email you a reminder 75 days before your arrival.
Payment acknowledgment: Immediately upon receipt of your initial or final payment we will mail you an Acknowledgement of Payment. The Acknowledgement will note the remaining balance, if any, and when the payment is due.
Final payment The second half of the rent and any security deposit are due in our offices 60 days before the first day of your rental. We must strictly adhere to this procedure, and failure to comply could result in cancellation of the booking. Don't worry about forgetting -- we'll remind you if your payment is not received on time.
Cancellation Cancellation of a confirmed reservation is a painful event for both owner and renter. The renter cancels because of some unexpected hardship; meanwhile the owner may have turned away rental opportunities and thus lost revenue. We have a no refund cancellation policy, but usually succeed in rescheduling cancelled reservations to the Spring or Fall or booking the cancelled period to another group and refunding the party that cancelled. Failure to pay the final balance which is due 60 days before arrival may be deemed a cancellation with no refund due. Security deposits are fully refundable. Clients are strongly urged to take out Trip Cancellation Insurance with the carrier of their choice at the time of confirmation. We can send a Travel Insurance quote to US or Canadian residents for all or part of the cost of your trip. We would need the name, birth date, airline carrier, dates of travel and amount of money to be covered for each guest who would like to be insured. Please inquire for a quote.
Security Deposit: The security deposit is taken as a signed promise that we can charge your credit card for any unpaid damage or expenses incurred during your stay. It is very rare that we ever charge a card - we inform our guests before doing so. Reasonable wear and tear is not charged for, but the cost of missing or damaged items will be deducted from the deposit.
Extra Charges The rent includes taxes, standard utilities and maid service as noted above. Additional maid or other services can be arranged and are charged for separately. In cold months November through April there is an additonal 100 euro per week charge for heating cost.
