Port Grimaud is located in the Gulf of Saint Tropez, approximately four and a half miles from Saint Tropez itself. There's a regular ferry services from Port Grimaud to Saint Raphaël and Saint Tropez and this really is the best way to travel in the summer when driving a few miles can take hours. Port Grimaud has its own large, sandy beach where all water sports facilities are available. The beach overlooks the bay of Saint Tropez with the famous town in the distance. The view from here is spectacular, particularly during the early evening when the setting sun turns Saint Tropez a wonderful shade of orange.

Sainte Croix Lake

About 90 mins away but well worth the cisit is Probably the most deligtfull place I have ever visited. The Sainte Croixe lake,this magnificant turquoise lake was formed by the Barrage (dam) de Ste. Croix, built on the Verdon river in 1975.Sitting on the open Plateau de Valensole and the Grand Plan de Canjuers, the lake has a feeling of endless space and light.There is easy acces to much of the lake shore, and plenty of beaches and picnic areas. The size of the lake, however, accepts the summer visitors without a feeling of overcrowding its vast surface.

Hire a boat and paddle up the gorge to a shallow cove and take a swim in the sun kissed ice blue water
