St. Tropez and Port Grimaud Sightseeing Tour from Cannes
Cruise the French Riviera, discover a legendary village, and explore the canals of the Cote d'Azur's little Venice.
This full-day tour takes you on an unforgettable journey along the French Riviera, combining a scenic boat crossing with guided exploration of Saint-Tropez, one of the most iconic coastal towns in Europe. From Cannes, you travel south to St. Maxime before boarding a boat that delivers a striking first view of Saint-Tropez from the sea.
Saint-Tropez has long drawn writers, artists, and celebrities to its sun-drenched harbor, and a visit here reveals why. The old town mixes Provencal architecture with a vibrant waterfront where modest fishing boats sit alongside some of the most lavish yachts in the Mediterranean.
Port Grimaud adds a distinct character to the day. Built across a network of canals and linked by small bridges, this planned village is often called the little Venice of the Cote d'Azur. Its colorful facades and quiet waterways offer a quieter but equally photogenic contrast to the bustle of Saint-Tropez.
The tour is structured to give you both guided highlights and genuine free time. You can wander the market streets, explore the harbor, or simply sit at a cafe and absorb the rhythm of life in this celebrated corner of southern France.
Tour Highlights
Board a scenic boat from St. Maxime and approach Saint-Tropez from the sea for a memorable first impression of the town.
Explore the legendary harbor of Saint-Tropez, where fishing vessels and superyachts share the same moorings along the old quay.
Visit Port Grimaud, a canal village built in the 1960s that reinterprets traditional Provencal architecture across a network of waterways.
Photograph the colorful houses, arched bridges, and reflections along the canals of Port Grimaud at your own pace.
Enjoy free time in the charming old town of Saint-Tropez to discover its narrow lanes, boutiques, and local cafes.
Travel along the scenic coastal roads of the French Riviera between Cannes and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez throughout the day.
Itinerary
The tour begins in Cannes, where you board your transport heading east along the Riviera coast toward St. Maxime. The drive offers views of the coastline and sets the scene for the day ahead.
From St. Maxime, you board a boat for the short crossing across the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. This approach by water gives you a panoramic view of the town that no road arrival can match.
Once ashore, you explore the harbor quarter and old town, taking in the famous quayside, the citadel, and the maze of streets that made Saint-Tropez a magnet for creative figures and travelers alike.
You have unstructured time to explore at your own rhythm. The market, local restaurants, and the harbor all reward a slower pace of discovery.
The group continues to Port Grimaud, where the canal-laced layout and pastel-colored facades create an atmosphere quite unlike anywhere else on the Riviera. Small bridges connect the residential islands across the network of waterways.
The day concludes with a return drive to Cannes, completing a full circuit of some of the most celebrated destinations along the western French Riviera.
