Experience St.Tropez & Port Grimaud

Once a fortified stronghold and later a sleepy fishing village, St. Tropez rocketed to fame after World War II. It became a favorite destination for Parisians and international jet setters, while its superb sheltered bay has drawn yachting enthusiasts. Visitors head for that prized waterfront, where the pink and tan houses of the Vieux Port seem to glow in the sun. You’ll enjoy some free time to explore the Vieux Port, with its luxury yachts, tiny boutiques, galleries, cafés and restaurants. Near the Old Port, you will also have your free time to visit a local restaurant to indulge in some lunch with a glass of local wine. After visiting St. Tropez, you’ll continue to the unique seaside resort of Port Grimaud. Beginning in 1962, the coastal wetland was steadily transformed into a waterside village where houses line over four miles of canals. Each house has a waterfront view, a garden and space to moor a boat. Stone and wood bridges span the canals, connecting the port's islets. Cafés, shops and restaurants are scattered through the community, accessible only by foot or small electric launches. Following your visit, you’ll board the coach again for the return trip to Toulon.
