Grimaud, Medieval hilltop village in Var, France
The village stands on a rocky hill, crowned by an 11th-century stone castle with defensive walls offering views across the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
The Grimaldi family received this land in 973 as a reward for helping William the Good remove Saracen forces from the Fraxinet stronghold.
The Saint-Michel Church displays Gothic architecture with three naves, while regular markets in the village square maintain centuries-old Provençal traditions.
Visitors can reach Grimaud through numerous bus routes from Saint-Tropez, with parking facilities available at the base of the village.
The commune includes Port Grimaud, a 1960s water city with canals, bridges, and individual boats for each residence, built in traditional Mediterranean style.
