Grimaud
Grimaud est un magnifique village médiéval situé dans le Massif des Maures, près du Golfe de St-Tropez. Le village perché de Grimaud est un des plus anciens de la région, adossé à la forêt de chênes-lièges, protégé par son château érigé dès le XIème siècle. C’est une destination très populaire et appréciée des vacanciers puisque Grimaud se situe au milieu des plus beaux paysages de Provence. Grimaud est aussi un lieu de quiétude même au plus fort de la saison touristique. Près de Grimaud vous trouvez la station balnéaire de Port Grimaud, surnommé la « petite Venise ».

It has presumably been very beautiful and impregnable, but it was almost completely destroyed after the revolution. The view of the coast from this high point gave the town an ideal strategic position through the Middle Ages. The castle is now classified as “historical monument.”
The old part of Grimaud is incredibly exciting with lots of well- restored houses. Grimaud is, actually, considered the richest village in the area. This is due to the fact that big parts of the population are rich foreigners for whom money is no problem. Some of the houses date from the 15th and 16th century.
The Templars have played an important role in Grimaud, where they, in 1119, established their main seat. In Rue des Templiers (also called Rue des Arcades), the town’s oldest street, one can find the well preserved Maison de Templier, whose facade and caves have been listed since 1926. The house is one of the order’s few buildings in Provence – and highly interesting. In the same street there is also a 12th century Roman church, St. Michel, which has visibly been used by the Templars. That is why the church is completely without decorations and fairly sombre.
