A relaxed seaside town across the Gulf

Sainte-Maxime is a good choice when you want a seaside visit that feels easier and more relaxed than Saint-Tropez. It has a pleasant waterfront, beaches, restaurants, shops, and a family-friendly atmosphere.

We often recommend Sainte-Maxime for guests who want a simple coastal day: a walk along the seafront, lunch, some beach time, and a less hectic pace. It is practical, accessible, and works well for families or mixed groups.

It is also a useful alternative when Saint-Tropez traffic is too heavy. You still get the Riviera atmosphere, but with a more relaxed rhythm.

Estimated driving distance from Grimaud Village: around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic.
