Guided tour of the village of Grimaud (private guide)

Strolling through the cobbled streets, pushing open mysterious doors and enjoying Provençal breaks in the shade of tree-lined squares: this is what awaits you on your next visit to Grimaud with ‘Sous le Soleil de Marie’.

Did you know that under the Ancien Régime, the area was known as the Gulf of Grimaud, a symbol of seigneurial power? A local guide will reveal the traces of this bygone era that time has almost erased.

The tour begins with a visit to the Saint-Roch district and its windmill, where the village miller once worked. From this windswept hilltop, the landscape still bears witness to Grimaud’s agricultural past. As you make your way to the heart of the village, you will discover Saint-Michel Church, one of the oldest Romanesque churches in the region. The walk continues past medieval houses, whose façades still bear traces of the past. This stroll concludes as you wind your way up the Provençal alleyways to the feudal castle, whose keep was the catalyst for the village’s development. Overlooking the Gulf of Saint-Tropez and the surrounding hills, Grimaud Castle offers a superb panoramic view stretching all the way to the sea.

By the end of the tour, the local heritage will hold no secrets for you. As an added bonus, your guide will share their top tips and must-visit spots for your stay.
