With all the history and interesting architecture in Europe, why anyone would want to see a manufactured "Venice" of France is beyond me. My wife and I visited based on the reviews but were very disappointed.

While going to St Tropez don't miss out and stop to see this little jewel. You would have to leave the car outside which makes this place even more interesting, walk along the water and enjoy the view of the harbor. There are several small restaurants inside the perimeter i would suggest La mareè, the ones right on the main... More

Wow! I'd been told that Port Grimaud was like a Little Venice,but nothing prepared me for this man made (reclaimed land from the sea) beautiful miracle! It's an architects dream with varying types of houses & apartments with connecting canals & bridges & each property has its own mooring! There are some amazing yachts to see + you can hire... More

The village is totally secured by guards and as a non-residant you can not get inside with the car. So, we parked the car outside and went for a nice walk in the village It looks like little Venice, with all its little bridges and restaurant and coloured houses. And when you find the little paths between the houses, you... More

Market day it is busy restaurants are great. It is well worth hiring an electric boat (will seat only 5) for a proper look around the village of Port Grimaud and into the back yards of the cottages. Best to walk as parking charges are high.

Really well maintained. The boat trip is a must. You have to park outside and walk around which is not a problem as it keeps the place virtually car free.

A lovely little village but it can be either really packed or rather dead depending on in or out of season. Early Oct. means everything is closed down

Port Grimaud is tucked away a few kilometers from St. Tropez. Almost 2000 people live on the canals of this enchanting waterfront community. Take a boat tour around the canals and explore this unique place. Several restaurants and shopping areas attract thousands of tourists daily. Absolutely charming!

My visit was in late October and I stayed in an apartment in the South of PG. It was, as one would expect out of season, fairly peaceful, which was what I wanted. I imagine that in the summer it gets very busy with visitors. There are shops and restaurants, a church (with a great view from the top of... More
