Trip Report:southern France: Provence and Cote d'Azur

well, here comes part II, the French Riviera (Cote d’Azur):

as first spot we reach the region of St. Tropez. This village is well known due to his very famous (very rich) VIPs and European and American jet set (starting with Brigitte Bardot in the sixties).

We made our first stop at Port Grimaud. Port Grimaud began to rise out of the sand dunes around the marshes of the river Giscle on the north shore of the Golfe de Saint-Tropez in 1966. Known as the 'Venice of Provence' and arranged into four little islands, the colourful houses are linked by bridges over the waterways and surrounded by gardens. Port Grimaud is a great attraction for anyone interested in boats and yachts and offers a range of water sports. The town is mainly traffic free and the properties come with their own berth.
