What to do and see around Port Grimaud
Nestled in the heart of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, in the Var, Port Grimaud is a unique lakeside town designed by the architect François Spoerry from 1966 onwards, with 7 km of canals and colourful houses that have earned it the nickname “Venice of Provence”. Ideally located between the medieval village of Grimaud, Saint-Tropez and Sainte-Maxime, the station is a dream starting point for exploring the gulf from the water. With Playa-Rent, you glide freely along the canals and the coastline thanks to paddle board rental in Port Grimaud and kayak rental in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.

The canals of Port Grimaud
Designed by the architect François Spoerry, the lakeside town is criss-crossed by 7 km of canals lined with colourful houses and little bridges. Calm, sheltered water, ideal for a first paddle board trip from the station.
The medieval village of Grimaud
A few kilometres away, the old village winds around the remains of its 11th-century feudal castle. Provençal lanes, a Romanesque church and the Pont des Fées, with a sweeping view over the whole Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
Saint-Tropez
Famous for its harbour and café terraces, Saint-Tropez lies just across the gulf, about 5 km away. A shuttle boat takes you there in 20 minutes; in calm seas, the sportier also go by kayak along the coast.
Sainte-Maxime and the beaches
Facing Saint-Tropez, Sainte-Maxime offers some ten kilometres of beaches with turquoise waters. Right next to the station, Port Grimaud beach has a family atmosphere and direct access to the water.
Water buses and the little tourist train
To discover Port Grimaud differently, solar-powered water buses cruise the canals from April to October. The little tourist train links the harbour to the hilltop village of Grimaud.
The Massif des Maures
Inland, the Massif des Maures spreads its cork oak and chestnut forests, criss-crossed by hiking trails. Between sea and hills, an unspoilt natural setting for alternating between water and land.
