RIVIERA ROUND TRIP
If you plan to make a long weekend or week's trip then here are a few tips or and ideas for how you can enjoy your time.
VISIT SAINT TROPEZ
From both Port Grimaud & Ste. Maxime harbours are 20 minute ferries to St. Tropez.
Have a drink on promenade or wander the backstreets to find a lovely spot for lunch or dinner. Some of our favourites include:
- Breakfast on the balcony of Hôtel Sube or at Le Sporting
- Lunch or Dinner at Plage Les Graniers. You'll need to book but it's on the beach and our absolute favourite.
- Exploring the market at Place des Lices every Tuesday & Saturday morning
- A drink at Senequier
PLAY ON tHE BEACH
Our three favourite spots for a beach day out are Pampelonne, Gigaro or Les Graniers.
- Gigaro is more laid back, and we love the Couleurs Jardin for a delicious lunch, followed by taking our towels down to the sand and swimming in the clear blue water. It's a quieter cove and a bit more sheltered. Pampelonne is more for a leisurely lunch and party party!
- Les Graniers - As mentioned above, it is our favourite spot for a mix of lunch and chilling on the beach. It's also around the corner (a short 10 minute walk) from Place de Lices in St. Tropez so worth combining with a morning in St. Tropez.
- For lunch, Pampelonne is the priciest, but you could simply take a picnic. There we recommend Indie Beach or Le Club 55, but there are loads more to choose from. We recommend booking lunch for 1 or 3pm followed by a swim in the sea - but if you want a day on the sand we'd recommend Gigaro.
- There are also many public beaches in Port Grimaud and Ste. Maxime where you can head for a chilled afternoon, take a picnic and towels.
EXPLORE GASSIN
A 20 minute drive from Port Grimaud, you can climb the flower filled streets to enjoy a panoramic view of the gulf of Saint- Tropez. It's nice to stop by to eat traditional food in one of the terraced restaurants. Our favourite is Le Pescadou.
